Ogleby-Page is described by ERA as having been “the driving force behind Record Store Day for over a decade” in the UK.
The move now gives her oversight of all ERA’s activities, reporting to CEO Kim Bayley.
Ogleby-Page joined ERA straight from university in 2014.
During her time as lead coordinator and driver of Record Store Day, the annual promotion has become what ERA claims to be “the UK’s most successful new music promotion of the 21st century, last year generating additional sales through indie record stores of around £10 million”.
Highlights included the recruitment of Elton John (2017) and Kate Bush (2024) as Record Store Day ambassadors, the striking of sponsorship deals with brands including Bowers & Wilkins and Studio Miraval and the development of RSD’s close partnership with BBC 6 Music and successful collaboration with charity WarChild.
Ogleby-Page also played a key role in the launch in 2018 of National Album Day, a collaboration between ERA and record companies trade association the BPI.
Most recently she has driven ERA’s new Future Leaders Programme, designed to celebrate and support emerging executive talent in the digital entertainment and retail sector.
“Megan is a force of nature and has more than proved herself on Record Store Day. I am delighted she will now have the opportunity to apply her talents to ERA’s broader activities.”
