Annette Gevert has joined Bronwyn Tasker PR as Senior Publicist & Promotions Manager, reuniting former Sony Music Australia colleagues at the boutique agency.
Gevert’s appointment was first reported by The Music Network, and it marks her first confirmed role since departing Sony Music Australia last year.
She joins founder Bron Tasker, who launched the independent PR agency after her own exit from the major label.
Gevert brings nearly 20 years of experience across the Australian music industry, with an extensive background in publicity, promotions, artist relations and campaign strategy.

Most recently, she spent six years at Sony Music Australia, first joining as Alternative Radio Manager before taking on the role of Promotions Manager.
Gevert has also previously held positions at Positive Feedback, Secret Sounds, Mushroom Group and Warner Music.
“I’ve admired Bronwyn’s work for years. She has already grown her roster to include some of Australia’s premier acts, and the chance to help build something from the ground up with her was too good to pass up,” Gevert said.
“I’m excited to bring my relationships and experience to the artists and teams we work with, and to be part of this next chapter.”
Meanwhile, Tasker, who worked as Sony Music’s Senior Publicist, launched the agency in March and already boasts a roster that includes Amber Lawrence, Dami Im, Eskimo Joe, Kaylee Bell, Katie Noonan, Leigh-Anne, and Lenka.
Tasker said Gevert’s appointment represents a milestone moment for the company.
“Annette is one of the most respected and genuinely well-liked people in this industry. Her relationships and work ethic are second to none, and I’m incredibly excited to welcome her to Bronwyn Tasker PR as we continue to grow,” she said.
“Having worked closely together at Sony Music for many years, I know just how talented, hardworking and trusted Annette is. We’ve always had a fantastic working relationship and bringing her into the business felt like a very natural fit.
“She brings a wealth of experience across promotions, publicity and artist relations, along with a deep understanding of the industry and the people in it. I know our artists and clients will benefit enormously from having her on the team.”
