Sony Motion Picture Group has promoted veteran executive Louise Heseltine to senior VP, corporate communications. Heseltine joined the studio in 2020 as VP of corporate communications for the Motion Picture Group, and worked on Sony titles including “Uncharted,” “Gran Turismo,” “Where the Crawdads Sing,” “Bullet Train,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “No Hard Feelings” and most recently “Bad Boys Ride or Die” and “The Garfield Movie.” Heseltine will report to the studio’s chief communications officer Tahra Grant , who was promoted earlier this year after longtime leader Bob Lawson was elevated to head of corp comms for the entire Sony group.
“Louise’s analytical grit and global sensibility has long supported our movie campaigns and our film business more broadly,” Grant said in a company memo. “She has navigated complicated industry obstacles with deftness and sensitivity, and is well-positioned to broaden her corporate communications work for the motion picture group.” Before joining Sony, Heseltine held senior publicity positions at Endeavor Content and IM Global, leading comms strategies and international PR for film and TV series including “Killing Eve,” “The Peanut Butter Falcon,” “Silence,” “Mosul,” “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool” and “The Putin Interviews.
