Universal Promotes Marketing Chief

Twenty-year Universal Pictures veteran Nadia Bronson has been named president of international marketing for Universal. The position is newly created; as senior vice president of international marketing since 1994, Bronson has already been Universal’s highest-ranking international marketing executive. Bronson now assumes responsibility for the marketing of co-production acquisitions, and for October Films, the independent production company acquired by Universal earlier this year.

Universal is the only studio whose domestic and international marketing departments are both headed by women. Domestically, Buffy Shutt is president and Kathy Jones is executive vice president of marketing.
