Carolyn Eychenne, European Advertising Sales Representative
Carolyn Eychenne has represented Musical America in Europe since 1989, a period in which the music industry in Europe has experienced both great upheaval and great renewal, as the fall of the Berlin wall and subsequent fall in music subsidies in Germany and then other countries forced artists' agents to become more and more creative.
Carolyn has developed Musical America International Directory of the Performing Arts's reach in Europe and the Middle East, tripling turnover in this region. A specialist in business-to-business marketing, Carolyn has also worked for professional magazines in the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
An "American in Paris," Carolyn studied English Literature at Mills College in California (home to composer Darius Milhaud after the War), before coming to France on a Fulbright scholarship. She has since lived in Tunis, Paris, Nice and Versailles. |
