Douglas Warshaw is out as chief digital officer of Alpha Media just five months into the job according to Mediaweek.
Under Kent Brownridge’s leadership, this seems to be a trend. Joe Mangione left last month after six months as chief marketing officer.
More moves over at Alpha Media.
Matt Kaplan named VP, Digital Sales for Maxim Digital; Gennadiy Borisov named CTO of Maxim Digital; and Eric Alt is Deputy Entertainment Editor for Maxim.com, according to Mediaweek. Maxim.com is beginning to make its site cleaner and easier to navigate. BTW - I know the new cover is of Avril, but I like this one better.
AND DECIDES TO GO BACK TO RETIREMENT!
Kent Brownridge is seeking a new chief marketing officer for Alpha Media now that Joe Mangione has decided to return to retirement, according to Mediaweek.
On the job for just six months, Mangione tells Mediaweek, “I just decided I didn’t want to work that hard anymore or see Ken Brownridge every day.”
Or maybe cuz it’s hard to market shitty covers like the one above?
