Vice President, Publicity and Marketing
Phillip is a seasoned entrepreneur with over 12 years experience in marketing, publicity, content development and promotions. He started his Hollywood career working for the talent management agency run by Nancy Sanders. This was followed by the life-changing role he played on the start-up team at the Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX.com). In 1998, Phillip co-founded CountingDown.com. The site quickly grew to become one of the largest movie sites on the web and one of the first social networks centered on film. The site was eventually acquired by POP.com (a joint venture of DreamWorks, Imagine Entertainment and Vulcan Ventures) in 2000. In 2004, Phillip started his own digital marketing and PR consultancy, City PR, Inc. In 2006, Phillip was tapped by the ReelzChannel TV network to launch the accompanying network web site. As the VP Business Development and Partnerships for ReelzChannel.com, he was responsible for content, business development and strategic partnerships. Phillip grew the site quickly and made it one of Hollywood’s new favorite web destinations. Phillip graduated from the University of Southern California with a dual Bachelor’s degree in International Relations and French and is a member of The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (Interactive Peer Group) and the Producers Guild of America (New Media Council).
