    www.riw.com Howie Altholtz CMO and Shareholder Call: 617-570-3576 | Email: [email protected] OVERVIEW Howie Altholtz joined RIW in 2005 and is a shareholder of the firm and Chief Marketing Officer. He manages the firms business development, and participates in a number of select client matters. Howie’s career spans across the disciplines of law, music and business development. As an attorney, Howie practiced for 10 years at Nixon Peabody, and led its Entertainment Law practice. He was also one of the first ever Law firm Marketing Directors in New England. In 1987, he created the Marketing Department at then Peabody & Brown, and spent 12 years as its Marketing Director, helping grow the firm from 50 lawyers to nearly 200, then into a merger to become Nixon Peabody and over 700 lawyers. Over that span, Howie helped establish that firm’s business development strategy and marketing efforts as a benchmark for the industry, with ground breaking design and branding, and award-winning advertising and content development. Howie’s exposure to the music industry was fueled by his creativity and passion, and started early at events like the original Woodstock Festival, the Beatles at Shea Stadium, as well as exposure through his family members’ leadership role in the founding of Warner/Elektra/Atlantic. It was through those experiences and contacts, his creative talent and business acumen, that Howie would develop relationships with many leaders of the industry including Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records, among others. Already a well-known music industry veteran, Howie spent 10 years in Woodstock, N.Y.

    In London Call Toll Free: 0845 094 3256 In London Call Toll Free: 0845 094 3256 Welcome! Dear Rock Stars, Welcome to camp! I'd like to welcome all of you--campers, counselors, veterans, and media—to our first ever Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp in London. You are about to embark on an epic journey. This camp promises to be our most amazing yet! For the last 10 years, this camp has been a dream in the making. When I first started this camp, one of my dreams was to be able to give campers access to one of the most famous studios in the world, Abbey Road. Now that dream has been realized and I'm thrilled to bring you inside and let you experience what the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Green Day have all been a part of. I'm equally excited to have you at John Henry’s. This is the very studio where rock royalty rehearses and records, where bands playing at Live 8 or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony come to practice. Many thanks to John Henry for allowing us to use his famous facility. Then we're on to Liverpool! It's an even more special time to visit the city where the Beatles got their start, because it also happens to be the 40th Anniversary of one of the greatest albums of all time, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Seeing the sights and sounds of Liverpool, and jamming to Beatles songs at the legendary Cavern Club---this year's camp will surely be a once-in-a-lifetime event! It's a week to make all your dreams come true, so turn off your cellphones and get ready.
