...ABOUT...

PositiveSpin29 was established by Angela Huffstutler, a creative professional whose experience encompasses a diverse mixture of marketing, broadcasting, production, administration and multi-media design across many industries. A native of Austin, Texas, Angela earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of Texas and took advantage of the close proximity to Latin America where she spent a lot of time traveling, living and becoming fluent in its language and culture. Her varied travels and experiences led her to delve into other cultures and naturally to work with entities such as Putumayo World Music, National Public Radio, Persian Arts Festival, and GlobeSonic Entertainment.

As the former radio director at a leading independent record label, Putumayo World Music, Angela brings a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to music, events and marketing. While at Putumayo she successfully managed radio promotion of their catalog, new releases and artist or branded tours in addition to producing and marketing their internationally syndicated radio show. She gained wide exposure for artists, the label and its strategic partners through thinking outside the box and forging scores of relationships. Angela has worked with a range of other syndicated programs such as Jimi Hendrix Live at Monterey: American Landing, NPR’s Latino USA, Pulse of the Planet, Science Diaries, Symphony Space Live, Heat and other special series.

She has also worked in real estate, with independent artists, health and wellness providers, content providers and non-profits that have provided opportunities to build on her knowledge of market trends, strategic planning, and leadership. In 2005, Angela co-founded the Persian Arts Festival, a not-for-profit, arts and cultural organization, where, as executive director, her ambitious drive and dedication has created a thriving, unprecedented festival of its kind that highlights the voices and visionaries of Persian art and culture.

Angela provides intellectual leadership, strong project management skills, a broad understanding of global popular culture, and an ability to find innovative solutions to marketing challenges of any size and scope.
