King, who plans to spend some time figuring out his next act, is one of the last PR executives at NBCU with institutional knowledge whose tenure goes back to NBC’s heyday of Must See TV, in which he played an integral part. Having accomplished a lot and having worked at the company for so long, though a string of regime changes and management reorganizations — as well as a seismic shift in the business — King wanted to make a change, leading to his decision to leave.
Currently Head of Corporate Communications and Marketing for Universal Studio Group , King started his NBCU career at NBC Entertainment, overseeing primetime series publicity before shifting to head Universal Television publicity and marketing, where he’s spent the bulk of his career at the company. He is currently the second longest-serving corporate communications head at one of the major TV studios, clocking in at 20 years.
“I always joke that one day I’m going to win the lottery,” King said. “But I’ve come to realize that with the extraordinary experiences and opportunities I’ve had with this job, I’ve already hit the jackpot, many times over. What an incredible honor it’s been to work with and learn from the industry’s smartest, most gifted, and creative talent.
Prior to NBCU, King worked at Hanson & Schwam Public Relations, ABC Entertainment , and in news at CNN Headline News, WSYX-TV and WKYC-TV .
