Description

In 1985, Pam Lewis left RCA (Radio Corporation of America) Records to start her own music industry public relations firm, Pam Lewis and Associates, later shortened to PLA Media. Lewis, a staunch preservationist, bought buildings at 1303 Sixteenth Avenue South in the 1990s and renovated them to become offices. This renovation awarded Lewis a Certificate of Merit from the Tennessee Historical Commission. Lewis’ first client was the now-superstar Garth Brooks in 1987. She also managed Trisha Yearwood (1964) in her early career, including during Yearwood's 1991 self-titled debut. Today, PLA Media works on campaigns and creative projects with artists, restaurants, charitable organizations, and museums.
