Top Marketer Goes to DreamWorks Animation

Terry Press, one of the highest-profile marketing executives in Hollywood, was named head of marketing for DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. in Glendale.

Press formerly ran the marketing department at DreamWorks SKG, the live-action company bought by Paramount Pictures Corp. for $1.6 billion. The animation group, responsible for such films as “Madagascar” and the “Shrek” franchise, had been spun off earlier in a public offering.

Among the films Press worked on was the Oscar-winning “American Beauty.”
