Amazon has named Sue Kroll as its head marketer for its original programming, the company announced today.

The spot had remained vacant since June, when former CMO Ukonwa Ojo left the company. Amazon said its entertainment arm experienced a “transition period to evaluate our organizational needs" following Ojo's departure.

Kroll, who spent 24 years at Warner Bros. Entertainment, is now the head of marketing for Amazon Studios, overseeing global marketing for all original programming both for the Prime Video streaming service and theatrical distribution. Kroll will report directly to Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke.

Although the appointment became official today, Kroll filled in as the head marketer for the launch of Amazon’s “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” which became the streamer’s largest premiere to date

Kroll is also the president of her production company Kroll & Co. Entertainment, which was a producer on 2020’s Harley Quinn film “Birds of Prey” and will now have a first-look deal with Amazon.

Before launching her own company, Kroll was president of worldwide marketing and distribution at Warner Bros. Entertainment. She oversaw efforts for popular films and franchises including “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Argo,” “Inception” and all eight “Harry Potter” films. She held prior positions at Turner Network Television and Viacom.

“Please join me in congratulating Sue and officially welcoming her to our talented marketing team, as we continue to grow, discover innovative ways to market our global content, and strengthen our connections with customers around the world,” wrote Salke in an internal memo.
