About the promotion, Tombrink adds, "At this point in my career, the excitement and thrill of breaking new artists is what gets me up in the morning. Going forward, I want to maintain our status as number one at the format. Monte and Avery [Lipman] are a fantastic team and I have the most respect for them. Both of those gentlemen empower their people. I believe that's one of many reasons why the label is so strong right now. Together, we're going to continue to accomplish some amazing things."

In 2008, Tombrink joined the label as Senior Director, Triple A Promotion. Since then, she's spearheaded radio campaigns for Florence + The Machine, Eddie Vedder, Jack Johnson, Gotye, Of Monsters And Men, The Avett Brothers and many more.
