Tim Palen And Nancy Kirkpatrick To Co-Exist As Marketing Chiefs For Lionsgate And Summit Respectively You will be redirected back to your article in seconds Skip to main content April 25,

2012 12:58pm SERVICES TO SHARE THIS PAGE. EXCLUSIVE: One of the biggest question marks since Lionsgate merged with Summit has been what would happen to their two veteran marketing heads, Tim

Palen and Nancy Kirkpatrick. So here’s what’s been decided because the two companies have a big slate of films coming: Tim Palen has just been given a new long-term deal as Chief Marketing

Officer at Lionsgate, which is the title he already holds. And Summit‘s President of Worldwide Marketing Nancy Kirkpatrick will continue in her role. Included on their individual plates are

more _Hunger Games_ films for Lionsgate as well the finale of the_ Twilight _Saga, _Breaking Dawn Part 2,_ for Summit. I think it’s a smart decision to keep the two marketing groups

especially since the two labels are still separate for now and the forseeable future, if for no other reasons than you’d hate to see either of these two pros go to the competition. And if

the two labels ever become one, then Palen and Kirkpatrick should have a Fight Club brawl — and I’ll be there to watch. RELATED: Inside The Summit And Lionsgate Merger: Layoffs Are The Order
