A 24-year Warner Bros. veteran, Gregorian will continue to oversee the Studio’s Worldwide Television Marketing team and work closely with television networks and stations worldwide to maximize and fully exploit the promotional and marketing opportunities available to all of the Studio’s television properties – network (“Two and a Half Men,” “The Big Bang Theory” and “The Mentalist,” to name just a few), cable (“The Closer,” “Lopez Tonight” and the upcoming “Pretty Little Liars” and “Rizzoli & Isles,” among others), animation (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” the forthcoming “The Looney Tunes Show,” “Scooby-Doo!

The Worldwide Television Marketing team partners with The CW’s marketing group in overseeing www.cwtv.com, the online presence of The CW.
“Lisa has an incredible knowledge and understanding of our business, our content and, most importantly, our prospective viewers,” said Rosenblum. “Her keen sense, combined with an unmatched creativity and enthusiasm, combine to make her the premier marketing executive in our industry. Over the years, she has consistently and successfully raised the bar in marketing our television content to the worldwide television marketplace, and I am truly proud to have her serve as our Group’s Chief Marketing Officer.”
Notable among Gregorian’s recent marketing and promotional initiatives are continuing to be the driving force behind Warner Bros.

Gregorian was named Executive Vice President, Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros. Television Group, in 2005. Prior to that, Gregorian had served in the then-newly created position of Senior Vice President, Warner Bros. Television Creative Services, since April 2003.
