Warner Bros. Discovery has promoted Rebecca Rørmark to the newly created role of senior vp, head of streaming marketing for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
The company said on Thursday that the Oslo-based executive, who has served as vp, marketing and PR for WBD since 2021, would report to Patrizio Spagnoletto, global chief marketing officer for direct-to-consumer.
WBD is preparing for the launch of a global streaming platform that will combine HBO Max content with favorites from Discovery+. The service is scheduled to launch in the U.S. and Latin America this year before rolling out in Europe from 2024. Rørmark will “lead the evolution of the streaming brands, growth of the subscriber base and marketing preparations for the launch of the enhanced streaming product,” the company said.
