Lionsgate Motion Picture Group marketing president JP Richards and co-president Keri Moore are leaving the company. The move is effective immediately and was revealed Monday afternoon.
Their roles will not be filled immediately, and in the interim the group’s EVPs — Amanda Kozlowski, EVP Strategy & Chief of Staff; Jack Teed, EVP Global Creative Advertising and Nasim Cambron, EVP Worldwide Publicity — will help lead global campaigns.
Lionsgate MPG chair Adam Fogelson will also take on a more active role in overseeing the department.
“In looking at our slate ahead, we have decided to re-approach our marketing group to meet the needs of a rapidly changing market,” Fogelson said in a statement announcing the news. “As we redefine the way we explore our campaigns, JP Richards and Keri Moore will be transitioning from their roles at the studio. I’m deeply proud of both JP and Keri, who have grown with and alongside me in their careers. JP has always brought bold, forward-thinking ideas to the table, and he’s a consummate innovator; Keri has proven herself a brilliant full-picture marketing strategist and wizard with filmmakers and talent.
“Transitions are never easy, especially when they involve longtime friends and colleagues, but I am beyond grateful for their creativity, partnership, and immense talent, and they have my full love and support as they take the next step in their careers.”
