NASHVILLE, Tenn. (NOVEMBER 11, 2025) Provident Entertainment's publishing division, Essential Music Publishing, announces the promotion of Andie Rankins to Vice President of Essential Publishing Administration.
Rankins joined the company in 2015 and is being promoted from Senior Director, Essential Publishing Administration. That same year, when Provident acquired its catalog from Sony Music Publishing, she assumed responsibility for developing, instituting, and overseeing the company's internal publishing administration process. Since then, Rankins has driven significant growth within the division by expanding its client base and strengthening operations.
 
Under Rankins' leadership, Essential Publishing Administration has developed into a thriving, integral part of Provident Entertainment. Her strategic vision and commitment to excellence have expanded the division's reach beyond Provident's internal creative community to serve a diverse roster of valued industry partners, including Elevation Worship, Fair Trade Services, Hillsong Publishing, Bell Partners, BEC Worship, and many more.
 
"Andie's unwavering care and commitment for our copyrights and writers, combined with her servant leadership approach, make her the ideal person to lead Essential Publishing Administration as Vice President," says Holly Zabka, President of Provident Entertainment. "I am thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved promotion."
