Dokke Named BMLGR VP: Former Play It Again Music Group CEO Ryan Dokke is joining BMLG Records as VP/Promotion & Marketing. He succeeds Matthew Hargis, who left the industry earlier this month after 11 years with the imprint and 23 in the business (CAT 3/9). “I first met Ryan while he was working in radio and have considered him a friend for [more than] a decade,” says Pres./CEO Jimmy Harnen. “I’ve watched him rise through the ranks, expand his knowledge and succeed in very challenging times. I am confident he will continue leading this team at the level that Matthew Hargis did over the past 12 years.” Dokke was with PIA for more than a year-and-a-half prior to his November departure (CAT 11/17/21). He previously spent six years with Curb, rising to SVP before leaving in 2020 (CAT 4/17/20). Dokke’s prior career stops include Arista, Clear Channel, Citadel and Morris Communications.
