Nickelodeon has tapped Jenny Wall as CMO and Eryk Casemiro as SVP of the channel’s preschool division.
Wall, a former board member of entertainment marketing association Promax, will be responsible for all on and off-air consumer marketing, brand creative and content launches across all of Nickelodeon’s platforms: TeenNick, Nick at Nite and Noggin. She will be based in New York, reporting to Nickelodeon president Brian Robbins.
