Top communications firm Shore Fire Media has announced the promotion of Jaclyn D. Childress to president. A 13-year veteran of the firm and member of its leadership team since 2019, Childress (pictured above, left) will continue to head Shore Fire’s Nashville team, reporting to recently appointed CEO Angela Barkan, with a focus on sports, country music, reality TV and creators.

Hired as a publicity coordinator in 2013, Childress rose through the company’s publicist ranks to become a vice president in 2021, then growing to senior vice president three years later.
