Shane Bitzer
CDO
All Things Digital
Shane Bitzer’s first memory of the music industry is sleeping in a keyboard case under a stage as a small child. To this day if he hears a muffled bass beat its lights out. In the 90’s he joined Gary in the basement office and with one of the early versions of Photoshop and Illustrator, started creating band posters, press photos, and the first agency website until it had grown into the agency it is today. While he has gone on to pursue other ventures, he continues to be involved in many aspects of the family business.
