With a clear vision and strong creative instincts, Richardson is redefining the way people see and understand Crown Media Family Networks and its myriad extensions since stepping into her role last December. She’s already streamlined and rebranded the marketing group, now known as Crown Global Brand Group, and restructured the various areas to improve efficiencies and processes. As Hallmark Channel heads into “Countdown to Christmas,” a number of Richardson’s high-profile and creative marketing executions will be on full display. Her suggestion for those seeking to re-enter the workforce? “Make sure you are up to speed with industry trends and latest news and then go out and reconnect.”
