Marian Dicus Leaving Spotify For Netflix
• After an eight-year run at Spotify, Marian Lee Dicus is stepping down as VP and Global co-Head of Music to join Netflix as VP of U.S./Canada Marketing. As first reported by Variety, Dicus will start at Netflix in July, reporting to Global CMO Bozoma Saint John. A rep for Spotify confirmed that Dicus’ counterpart, Jeremy Erlich, will become Spotify’s sole head of music.
In a statement to Variety, Saint John said, “Marian is an exceptional marketer, with a diverse background of experiences from which she brings a unique and intuitive approach to strategic and creative marketing.” Reporting to Dicus will be Shelly Gillyard, VP of U.S. Series Marketing and Jonathan Helfgot, who was recently promoted to VP of Original Films Marketing.
Saint John added, “Shelly has a spectacular track record of driving conversations; and now with her expertise, she’ll be able to give us a fresh and vibrant perspective on all the elements of our marketing channels that will amplify our series business. Jonathan has been an excellent and consistent leader within our film team. He is well-respected by his peers and has abundant enthusiasm for the future — that’s a winning combination. I couldn’t be more excited to have this team lead our U.S. marketing team as we go forward.” [Photo credit: The Collective You]
