Ra-Fael Blanco has been promoted to SVP of media relations and communications at Virgin Music-affiliated indie-services shop SRG-ILS Group. He'll report to General Manager Michael Cusanelli and founder/CEO Claude Villani.

Blanco, who previously served as SGR-ILS Group's VP of media relations, will continue to oversee PR for the company's many clients, including Chaka Khan, Brian McKnight, Erica Campbell, MaryMary, UB40 and Angie Stone.
