A marketing reorganization at Comcast that led to the departure of two former senior vice presidents – including former Verizon Wireless marketer Marvin O. Davis – has paved the way for marketing communicator Eileen Diskin to return, from PBS Kids Sprout.
Davis, who was senior VP of sales and marketing, left to pursue other opportunities after his job functions were changed in a November shift. And Page Murray, SVP of marketing communication and support under Davis, also left after the reorg, Comcast confirmed last week.
The November shift put product marketing under Greg Butz, who heads up product development. His title expanded to SVP of product development and general manager of media services, the latter being the marketing piece.
Meanwhile, former Comcast marketing exec Diskin has returned to the mother ship in recent days. She’s now VP of marketing communications and brand experience, Comcast confirmed.
Sprout is seeking a replacement for Diskin as VP of marketing, a network representative said.
