Founder / President: Pamela Lewis

Pamela Lewis, a native of upstate New York, is a graduate of Wells College with a B.A. in Economics/Marketing and a minor in French and Communications. After studying at The Sorbonne University in Paris, Lewis spent several years in New York City working at MS Magazine and completing graduate course work at Fordham University, The New York School for Social Research, and The Publicity Club of New York. In the early 1980s, she was part of the original publicity/marketing team that launched MTV to the world and worked with MTV's sister cable channels Nickelodeon, The Movie Channel, and The Arts & Entertainment Network. In 1984, she left Warner Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) with the position of National Media Director.

RCA Records recruited Lewis, who was still in her early 20s, and relocated her from New York City to Nashville to help shape the careers of top country stars such as Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, The Judds, and Alabama. After leaving RCA, she started her own PR/marketing + artist development agency, working with clients such as MCA Records, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Patty Loveless, and the CMA. Lewis hired a team and started award-winning PLA Media in 1985.
