President, Turner Entertainment and Young Adults Ad Sales
It has been a little over a year since Speciale joined the Turner Entertainment and Young Adults ad sales division, and her stamp is firmly imprinted on the group. The fruits include an exclusive ad/marketing deal with MillerCoors covering virtually every Turner property. A key part of the deal has MillerCoors brands integrated into many TBS and TNT series. At Turner, she urges collaboration with cross-divisional deals that utilize the span of its portfolio. “I always enjoy meeting with marketers and brainstorming how together we can break the status quo, while driving more business for their brand,” she says.
