Fathom Entertainment (recently rebranded from Fathom Events) has tapped Eric Becker, the former longtime press chief at Starz, as head of communications.
He will report to marketing VP Shannah Miller and be responsible for overseeing all external communications activities for the company, including strategic media relations, corporate communications, and programming publicity campaigns. He replaces Colette Carey, who exited at the end of last year.
Becker spent more than 18 years at Starz from the late 1990s through 2017 after Lionsgate acquired the pay TV network, serving as SVP, Corporate Communications. Subsequently, he ran his own solo PR consultancy, Becker PR, working primarily on behalf of media, entertainment and technology companies. After Starz, he also worked as an SVP at ICR, a strategic communication advisory firm.
“Fathom Entertainment is pleased to have Eric join our team at this transformational chapter in time for the company and while experiencing such great change for the industry-at-large,” said Fathom CEO Ray Nutt.
