footprint, we look forward to Kim bringing her creative and operational expertise to elevating
our brands and forging stronger connections with audiences.”
Granito previously spent seven years at the company’s IFC network, where she built integrated
marketing, digital media and consumer social groups when the network went ad supported,
and worked across consumer and integrated marketing to create campaigns for hit series
including IFC’s “Portlandia” and “Documentary Now!.” Earlier in her career, Granito held several consumer marketing, promotions and strategic marketing roles at Viacom and NBCUniversal, including at Syfy.
