Mediaboss Marketing

Kelly Campbell, a longtime Google marketing executive, has joined Hulu as the companys chief marketing officer.

Campbell reports to CEO Mike Hopkins and will start at Hulu later this summer. She assumes the CMO spot after the departure of Jenny Wall, who left Hulu in May.

As Hulus CMO, Campbell will oversee brand marketing, performance marketing, media, content marketing, creative, entertainment publicity and consumer research teams.Shes also responsible for developing the strategic vision and voice for Hulus consumer marketing campaigns, the company said.

At Google, where she worked since 2005, Campbell most recently was managing director of global growth marketing for Google Cloud, where she led a global rebranding effort for G Suite, which includes Gmail, Google Docs and Google Drive. Before that, she held multiple senior marketing roles within the company, after leading Googles dedicated client services team for North America and spending a year in Tokyo building out its online sales and operations team there.
