Elevating the Game: AMC Networks' Strategic Promotions in Publicity
In a strategic move that promises to elevate the company's public image and creative output, AMC Networks has promoted two key members of its communications team. Kathryn Brenner and Stephen Cox, both seasoned professionals with a proven track record of building strong relationships with the press and creative talent, have been appointed as Senior Vice Presidents of Publicity.
This promotion comes as a strategic response to the company's expanding portfolio of brands, which now includes cable networks like AMC, BBC America, IFC, and Sundance TV, as well as streaming services such as AMC+, Acorn TV, Shudder, and Sundance Now. The duo will play a pivotal role in shaping publicity and talent relations strategies across these diverse platforms.
Based in New York, Brenner and Cox report to Olivia Dupuis, the Executive Vice President of Publicity at AMC Networks. Dupuis praised their strategic vision, leadership, and enthusiasm, highlighting their instrumental role in driving impactful publicity campaigns for shows like The Walking Dead, Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, Portlandia, and Documentary Now!.
Brenner's career began at Miramax Films, and she has since worked at Wenner Media, Time Inc., and Condé Nast. Her expertise lies in crafting campaigns for high-profile properties, including The Walking Dead and Anne Rice's expansive universe. Cox, on the other hand, joined AMC Networks in 2016 after a stint at NBCUniversal. He has been instrumental in promoting shows like Dark Winds, Anne Rice's Talamasca: The Secret Order, and Acorn TV's Art Detectives.
Dupuis expressed her excitement about the duo's expanded roles, especially as the company gears up for an exciting 2026 lineup of new and returning series. This strategic move is poised to enhance the visibility and impact of AMC Networks' brands, content, and unique relationship with fans, solidifying their position as a powerhouse in the entertainment industry.
