McIntyre spearheads program marketing campaigns for Showtime’s original series and documentaries, including “Roadies,” “Penny Dreadful” and “Dexter,” and leads consumer event activations at large-scale fests like SXSW and Comic-Con. For example, she was instrumental in the planning and execution of the Showtime Roadies House at SXSW, featuring 27 bands, food, drinks, activations and merchandise, for a crowd of 4,000 fans. The launch of the second season of “Billions” and the consumer marketing campaign for “Whitney: Can I Be Me,” which became the highest-rated documentary in 2017 on the network, also fell under her watch. Not surprisingly, she gains inspiration from the following advice: “You can’t wait around expecting things to happen for you. You have to take initiative.”
