Rogers consolidates consumer
marketing; Latini out

There is a major shakeup at Rogers Media in consumer marketing. The reorganisation has left veteran Marisa Latini out of a job. She has been with the consumer marketing group, with particular responsibility for the women's service magazines, for seven years.

All Toronto-based titles will now be directed by Libby Nixon as Group Consumer Marketing Director effective June 12th. All Montreal-based magazines will be continue to be led by Catherine Louvet, who continues here role with the Service de la Diffusion team. The two directors will report to Tracy McKinley, Vice-President, Consumer Marketing & Research and Executive Publisher, Hello! Canadian Edition. Exceptions to the new reporting structure are that Peter Willson on Hello! and Colleen Moloney on Chocolat (considered launches) will continue to report directly to McKinley.

That's a real shame. Marisa is a consummate professional with a deep understanding of how to reach consumers. I'm sure she'll land on her feet.

That's shocking. Marisa is one of Canada's finest circulation professionals.

Some other publisher is about to get very lucky to get her on their team.

Look for more departures (Peter Willson perhaps?) when Brian Segal says good-bye to Hello!, which is dangerously thin on ads. At 62, Segal himself must be contemplating retirement. Wonder who'll succeed him? SVP Marc Blondeau? Chatelaine publisher Kerry Mitchell? Maybe André Préfontaine would be interested. He's got that bilingual thing going on.
