Sue Kroll Named Amazon Studios’ Head Of Marketing
01.11.2022 - 01:41 / deadline.com
As we told you last week, former Warner Bros Global Marketing Chief Sue Kroll was bound to be named Amazon Studios’ new Head of Marketing. On Monday, the company confirmed the news.
In her new role, Kroll will report directly to Amazon Studios’ Chief Jennifer Salke and oversees global marketing strategy and campaigns for the streamer’s movies and TV series. This also includes any future theatrical releases.
This comes in the wake of Kroll serving as a marketing consultant for the past six months, working on the behemoth success of the streamer’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The series from showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay launched September 1 in 240 countries, pulling in 25 million viewers on its first day, the biggest premiere ever for Prime Video.
Here’s the extra bonus: All the projects Kroll has been shepherding as a producer in the wake of her big marketing post at Warner Bros will now come to Amazon Studios as first look-deals.
At Warners, Kroll’s Kroll & Co. has been developing such feature projects as a reboot of the classic Dudley Moore comedy10, Anne Ward’s debut thriller novel Beautiful Bad, Elizabeth Gilbert’s City of Girls, a big-screen version of Peter Kornbluh’s Politico article My Dearest Fidel: A Journalist’s Secret Liaison with Fidel Castro with Gal Gadot attached, and a feature take of Jonathan Lethem’s novel The Feral Detective.
As a producer, Kroll was an executive producer on the Oscar-nominated and $436 million-plus global grossing A Star Is Born, the Edward Norton-directed noir Motherless Brooklyn, the feature adaptation of the Donna Tartt novel The Goldfinch, and DC’s Birds of Prey which made more than $205M worldwide before the pandemic.
Kroll joined Warner Bros in 1994
