Jennifer Peterson is joining 20th Century Fox Film in the newly created position of executive vp global theatrical publicity.
In that role, which she’ll step into March 13, she’ll lead the studio’s publicity team on a global basis from its Century City headquarters and will report to Pam Levine, TCFF president of global marketing.
Peterson comes to Fox from Lionsgate, where she has served since 2011 in a variety of roles, most recently as senior vp worldwide publicity, where she ran day-to-day operations for publicity campaigns and awards efforts on films from La La Land to The Hunger Games.
