sparks & honey Taps CNN Veteran to Lead Data-Driven Newsroom
New Hire Points to Continued Evolution of the Media and Marketing Landscape
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 06/10/13 -- , a next generation cultural identification agency, today announced the appointment of Kristine-Ellis Petrik as Senior VP, Director of Newsroom Operations, effective immediately. In this newly created role, Petrik will oversee all newsroom operations across all sparks & honey clients, including real-time branded content activation, and optimization and acceleration of content. She will report to Terry Young, Founder and CEO of sparks & honey.
"Over the course of her tenure at CNN, Kristine lived and breathed the fast-paced news industry -- she learned how to digest news, identify interesting angles, and in turn create highly engaging stories," said Terry Young. "Having a seasoned news expert on board -- one who grew up outside of the advertising industry -- to drive our data-driven newsroom will undoubtedly help to grow our capabilities in strategic trend identification and real-time activation."
Petrik joins sparks & honey following a 24 year stint with CNN/Time Warner Inc. Most recently, as director of integrated promotion with CNN/Time Warner Inc., she was responsible for leading brand, marketing and creative strategy for all integrated promotion on CNN, HLN and CNN.com. While there, she directed marketing campaigns for over 20 shows, including "Anderson Cooper 360," "Nancy Grace," "CNN Heroes," and award-winning breaking news coverage. Prior to that, Petrik was the assistant creative director of marketing & on-air promotion where she created marketing and brand strategies for twelve networks and websites.
"The newsroom environment helps create the ability to actively and successfully plan for the known, while quickly and effectively executing on the unknown," said Petrik. "I'm thrilled to be able to use my years in broadcast to oversee sparks & honey's newsroom activities."
Petrik's appointment follows the recent hire of industry veteran, Sarah DaVanzo, who now heads up the agency's cultural strategy team as Chief Cultural Strategy Officer.
