Lionsgate Restructures Its Theatrical PR Department

Lionsgate has restructured the publicity department for its film division, EVP of theatrical publicity Julie Fontaine announced, just three months after taking the lead post for the PR division.

The group is now divided into two teams, each led by a VP. Jennifer Peterson has been brought on to serve as one of those new VPs of national publicity. Peterson was previously with Walt Disney Studios motion picture marketing working on films including Alice In Wonderland and Toy Story 3.

The other VP lead position will be held by Jamie Blois, who was promoted into the role from her position as executive director of national publicity.
