Dea Lawrence (Variety) | Ring In The New Year With An 120 Yr Old Entertainment Icon

Happy New Year! Last year Jim had over 50 thoughtful conversations on The CMO Podcast, and he's kicking off 2025 with a doozy. The business of entertainment is increasingly the business of brand building, so Jim is beginning this year with a woman who really gets entertainment.

His guest this week on The CMO Podcast is Dea Lawrence, the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer of Variety, the number-one source of entertainment business news. Variety was founded 120 years ago–amazing–and it has evolved into a multi-platform content company. Its iconic publication is available in 84 countries, but Variety in 2025 is so much more: 90 plus live events, podcasts, television specials, a content studio, and on and on. Variety is privately owned by Penske Media, which also owns Rolling Stone and Deadline Hollywood.

Dea is not just a COO and CMO, she is also an actor, which has helped build a foundation for her experience rising to become an executive. Dea has been CMO at Variety since 2015; in the last three years she has also been the Chief Operating Officer. Join Jim and Dea as they ring in the new year with a conversation full of predictions and resolutions!
