Following the theatrical release of AMC Theatres Distribution concert pics Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce, the Nikkole Denson-Randolph led distribution team has hired Stephanie Terifay in the newly created position of VP, Distribution.
Terifay will be responsible for engaging the music industry to develop future projects, tailoring distribution strategies and marketing plans to maximize fan engagement and ensuring entertaining experiences for theatre audiences.
Terifay joins AMC from Fandango, where she led the integrated marketing team, and worked closely with Hollywood studios, independent content distributors, theatrical exhibitors, and brand partners to drive consumer awareness and ticket sales. Prior to Fandango, she led Partner Marketing for such brands as Sundance Institute, Film Independent, Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Los Angeles Clippers, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Terifay will begin her role at AMC on Friday, April 26.
Also, Kevin Arnold has been promoted to VP, Programming Promotions & Partnerships, also reporting to Denson-Randolph, effective immediately. He will continue to lead promotional planning that drives moviegoer engagement, increases ticketing, and delivers value to industry partners across all AMC marketing channels (in-theatre, on-screen, and digital/social). Arnold, who joined AMC in 2011, has risen through the ranks in the Film Programming department during his 13-year AMC career.
“The remarkable success of AMC Theatres Distribution last Fall opened an exciting new business for AMC, and we are thrilled to have Stephanie Terifay’s expertise and enthusiasm build upon the brilliant leadership of Nikkole Denson-Randolph,” said Elizabeth Frank, Chief Content Officer. “Through the addition of Stephanie and the much-deserved elevation of Kevin Arnold, AMC Theatres Distribution is well positioned to continue to deliver exciting and compelling content to moviegoers at AMC and across the industry domestically and internationally.”
