NASHVILLE, TENN. (JANUARY 14, 2025) Fair Trade Services announces the promotion of Kai Elmer to the position of Vice President of National Promotion.
After starting his career at Moody Broadcasting Network in Chicago, Elmer joined the Fair Trade team in 2007 as Manager of National Promotion. He has helped champion songs to Christian radio from many artists throughout his time at the label – including MercyMe, Phil Wickham, CeCe Winans, Micah Tyler, Skillet, Colton Dixon, and more. His role has included breaking new artists to the genre, achieving numerous No. 1 songs, and developing long-standing deep relationships in the radio community.
“We are happy to announce Kai as the VP of National Promotion at FTS,” says company President Darren Elrod. “This is a well-deserved promotion for an individual that truly understands and cares how the ministry of our artists and Christian radio work together to spread the gospel message.”
“It truly is a privilege to serve both our incredible artists and the Christian radio community at large,” says Elmer. “The success we’ve seen over the past few years is a testament to the creativity, hard work, and dedication of the entire Fair Trade team. I love this group of people and couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”
