VALENCIA, Spain, March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Yvette Noel-Schure, highly-regarded music and
entertainment PR executive, was presented with Berklee's first
Master of Global Entertainment Award by María Martínez Iturriaga,
executive director of Berklee's campus in Valencia, Spain. The award was presented at a
March 14 event in Noel-Schure's honor
at Berklee Valencia.
The respected industry veteran is known for her work with
Beyoncé, Prince, John Legend and many others. "Yvette Noel-Schure is the most relevant PR
professional within the music and entertainment industry today. Her
passion and dedication to the artists she represents makes her an
example to other colleagues and for future generations of industry
professionals."
"We are deeply grateful for her commitment to Berklee,"
Iturriaga continued, "particularly to the Valencia campus, where,
throughout the years, she has provided our students with a wider
multicultural and inclusive approach towards their future role
within the music industry. We are confident that this will result
in an outstanding generation of executives among which Berklee
students will proudly hold her legacy."
"Berklee is in my heart for a number of reasons," Noel-Schure
said. "People like me, women and men who have had long careers in
this business, need to learn from those coming. It is also
important to teach what we have learned, to pass down the
knowledge, so future generations can do even better than you did.
For that Berklee is the best."
At the award ceremony, held at the library on campus, Berklee
students paid tribute to her career achievements by performing
spoken word poetry and conducting a question and answer session
where Noel-Schure delved into her thirty-year experience in the
field, the future of the industry, and the role of women in the
music and entertainment business. Noel-Schure has continuously
showed a deep commitment in this regard by taking part in several
seminars and symposiums at Berklee Valencia and encouraging the
industry to make changes that empower real equity in the sector. At
Berklee Valencia, she is also a mentor for the Berklee Outstanding
Women Scholarship to support musicianship and leadership of women
in the music industry.
The Grenada-born publicist and
vice president of Schure Media Group has developed press campaigns
for a diverse roster of artists, including Mariah Carey, Will
Smith, Jessica Simpson,
Prince, John Legend, Adele, Wyclef Jean, Destiny's Child and for
each of that group's members: Kelly
Rowland, Michelle Williams,
