Terry Press moves from head of marketing for DreamWorks SKG for the past 10 years to DreamWorks Animation as worldwide head of marketing.
Press joins the animation company now that DreamWorks SKG has been acquired by Paramount Pictures. Paramount is responsible for the distribution of DreamWorks Animation films. Press will be the DreamWorks Animation senior liaison with the marketing team at Paramount.
"Terry and I have worked closely together for 19 years," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, DreamWorks Animation chief exec. "This studio has an exciting slate of films in our future and marketing those movies is a vitally important function. I can think of no one better to lead that effort than Terry and I am delighted DreamWorks Animation will continue to benefit from her experience."
