Jacqueline Parkes, the chief marketing officer of ViacomCBS’ Entertainment and Youth Group and executive vice president of the company’s digital studios, is leaving at the end of the year.
Parkes has been leading marketing for networks like CMT, MTV and VH1 since 2016, and was upped to oversee marketing for additional cable properties like Comedy Central, Paramount Network and TV Land following the 2019 ViacomCBS merger.
In a note to staff today, Parkes said the decision was a personal one, driven in part by life changes borne out of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
“Over the last few months, I’ve been speaking to Chris about finding the right time to transition out of my role for two reasons: the first being the transformational work we have done together over the last five years is near complete,” Parkes wrote.
