Steve Morris of Shelfdust has simply been appointed Marketing Manager at 2000AD/Rebellion’s publishing division.
Lots of individuals are in all probability congratulating Steve Morris on his new gig, on social media. I would not know, as a result of he blocks me. But possibly that may change now that he has been appointed Marketing Manager at 2000AD/Rebellion’s publishing division. Best recognized as a comics reporter and critic for the Comcis Beat and his Shelfdust Patreon website, he’ll take over the press and advertising position beforehand held by Michael Molcher, as Molcher expands his position as model supervisor of Rebellion/2000AD.
Rebellion publishes the British sci-fi anthology comedian 2000AD each week, Judge Dredd Megazine each month, as effectively as many different titles and collections, many based mostly on the IPC archive they just lately acquired. Rebellion states that “Steve will work closely with the 2000 AD Brand Manager, Michael Molcher, to market and publicise Rebellion’s growing stable of new comics and extensive archive of more than a century of British comics publishing.” And that “as well as overseeing marketing and advertising activities for new comics and collections, he will be the primary press contact for media outlets, reviewers, and influencers, working with them to boost awareness of the firm’s fantastic comic book brands, as well as establishing a greater presence in markets in both the UK and abroad.” I do hope he’ll return my e-mails. I’ll check it out with a congratulatory missive in only a minute and report again.
Previous to Rebellion, Steve Morris was additionally Marketing Manager for Ryley Wealth Management, not one thing he went on about rather a lot. I presume, possibly he did of late, I would not know. Publishing Manager Beth Lewis mentioned: “I’m delighted to have Steve join the team. His knowledge and passion for 2000 AD, and his experience within the comics industry, is a great asset to our growing department.” Steve Morris mentioned: “The deeper I dive down the rabbit-hole of Rebellion’s extensive, surprising, and challengingly prophetic back catalogue, the clearer it’s been to me that the continued success of 2000 AD is one of the most impressive creative achievements in comics history. I’m incredibly excited to be able to cross through The Forbidden Door and move from comics criticism into comics marketing, working alongside the (apparently robotic?) teams at both 2000 AD and The Treasury of British Comics to increase global levels of Thrill-Power even further beyond their recommended limits. The other great news is that Tharg promises me the grafts won’t hurt anymore if I just stop scratching them!”
No response but. It can solely be a matter of time. Michael Molcher additionally used to often gown up as Judge Dredd for publicity, I’m wondering if Steve may do the identical?
UPDATE: Reader, he replied.
