Valiant Promotes Hunter Gorinson To VP Marketing & Communications

Shame the Bleeding Cool Top 100 List for 2016 wrapped already. We might have had a new contender…

Valiant Entertainment today announced that Hunter Gorinson, the company's Director of Marketing, Communications & Digital Media, has been promoted to a new position as Valiant's Vice President of Marketing & Communications.

A familiar face at Valiant's convention panels and retailer presentations, Gorinson has been leading the resurgent publisher's PR and marketing initiatives since 2011, where he helped co-architect the company's hugely successful "Summer of Valiant" relaunch. He has continued to play a key role in the company's subsequent expansions in publishing, film and licensing since with Valiant CEO & Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani commenting that

"Valiant has one of the most dedicated, formidable and experienced management teams anywhere in the entertainment industry. Hunter distinguished himself early on as a key member of that team, and his influence and ideas have been integral to the company's many unprecedented successes over the past five years"

And he's been a good friend to Bleeding Cool along too, we might add…

Many creators consider Valiant to have one of the best promotional presences in the industry today and much of that can be credited directly to Hunter. Perhaps nowhere is that more visible that in the recent media frenzy around Faith – the five-time sold-out superhero series that turned up everywhere from the Atlantic and the Guardian to People Magazine and the Today Show… the kind of spaces usually out of reach even for the biggest of the Big Two.

With a five-film slate of major motion pictures at Sony and a rumored live-action Ninjak series coming in 2017, today's announcement would seem to be just the latest indication that Valiant may be gearing up even bigger moves in the New Year.

Let's just hope Hunter still returns our phone calls. Or I'll have to tell everyone what happened on that night out in Manhattan last year.
