BOOM! Studios Announces Key 2023 Promotions and New Hires

BOOM! Studios announced today that it has promoted and hired several key employees in the Sales and Marketing teams following a historic year in which the company held the first ever comic-focused panel in San Diego Comic-Con’s infamous Hall H for Keanu Reeves’ record-breaking series BRZRKR, earned ten Eisner Award nominations, and launched a new wave of compelling creator-owned titles including Grim, R.L. Stine’s Stuff of Nightmares, Once Upon A Time At The End Of The World, and Behold, Behemoth!

Grecia Martinez has been promoted to Marketing Coordinator. Martinez began at BOOM! Studios in 2021 as a Marketing Assistant where she helped with the growth of various digital, administrative, and advertising initiatives including social media, video interviews, and content production.

In addition to this key promotion, BOOM! Studios also recently hired:
