'He crafts powerful, individual brands for our artists': Norman Wonderly named EVP, creative at Warner Bros US

Norman Wonderly has been promoted to EVP, creative for Warner Bros Records, based at the company’s Los Angeles headquarters. He reports to WBR co-chairman & COO, Tom Corson.

Wonderly joined the label in 2010, as SVP of the creative services team. He was previously Publisher of Alternative Press magazine. 

He has overseen creative campaigns and music videos for artists such as Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa, Lil Pump, Michael Bublé, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Josh Groban, Jason Derulo and Gary Clark Jr. 

Wonderly was instrumental in the interior design and branding of WBR’s new headquarters in downtown LA’s Arts District. His role ranged from selecting furniture to commissioning original murals by noted artists Shepard Fairey, Tristan Eaton, and KMNDZ (Johnny Rodriguez). 

Tom Corson said: “Norman has a broad and critical role within WBR. He crafts powerful, individual brands for our artists and his amazing eye, great taste, and original ideas translate musical energy into visual style. He is the master of creating an impactful, captivating aesthetic that extends across everything we do at WBR – from album art and videos to the amazing new environment we’re experiencing every day. I’m delighted to announce this richly deserved promotion.”

Wonderly said: “Since its earliest days, WBR has embraced a unique, irreverent, out-of-the-box creative sensibility that has permeated the label’s culture. Long before I joined this amazing company, I was a huge fan of the label’s visual approach and language, and it’s a privilege to be tasked with taking it into the future. There’s a fantastic energy running through the company, from our new leadership to our new space and, of course, our incredible artists. I want to thank Tom and Aaron for this wonderful opportunity.”
