BURBANK, CALIF. — The audio imaging, production library, voiceover, programming, podcasting, and jingle production company founded by Dave “Chachi” Denes has promoted from within to fill its Affiliate Relations and Music Licensing Representative role as it welcomes a pair of women to its headquarters office.
Estefania Padilla earns the promotion to the key affiliate relations and music licensing position after serving as an executive assistant for Benztown for the last two years. Padilla has also become a face of Benztown to those attending the NAB Show in recent years. Padilla, outside of Benztown, is a singer/songwriter and performs Latin music at venues across Southern California.
Concurrently, Benztown is welcoming recent University of Southern California graduate Hannah Schoettmer as an Accounting/Office Coordinator.
Schoettmer’s introduction to radio was with RadioActive Youth Media at NPR Member station KUOW-FM in Seattle. Her skills include writing and filmmaking.
Lastly, joining Benztown’s creative audio production team is Megan Vazquez. She will serve as Long Form Programming Coordinator and Producer. Vazquez is a recent graduate of Oregon State University (OSU), where she studied Digital Communication Arts and Music Production. She held several positions at OSU’s radio station, KBVR-FM in Corvallis, including Station Manager, Assistant Station Manager, and Podcast Director.
Denes said, “Benztown continues to grow, as we focus on attracting up-and-coming talent and the industry’s most creative and skilled audio professionals. Hannah and Megan are strong additions to our world class team, and we welcome them and look forward to their contributions. Likewise, Estefania brings a unique and valued skillset to affiliate relations and music licensing, and we congratulate her on this promotion. It is a thrill to reinforce our amazing team with the very best people who share our dedication to serving Benztown customers with true innovation and excellence.”
