## Key points

- The move follows Seana Sullivan’s promotion within Fox
- Tubi says it now reaches 100 million monthly users

## Summary

Tubi has appointed Shannon Olivas as its new head of communications and publicity, putting her in charge of the Fox-owned streaming service’s communications strategy across consumer, advertiser, product, entertainment and corporate PR. The hire matters because it comes as Tubi continues to expand globally and sharpen its positioning in the increasingly competitive ad-supported streaming market, where brand profile, creator relationships and audience messaging are strategically important.

Olivas succeeds into the role after the previous Tubi communications chief, Seana Sullivan, was promoted to senior vice-president of corporate communications at Fox Corp, where she now oversees Tubi; Olivas will report to Tubi chief marketing officer Nicole Parlapiano. She most recently led corporate communications at Cue Health, helping steer the company through its IPO and direct-to-consumer push, and previously held senior roles at Netflix, DreamWorks Animation, Skydance Media, the Honest Company and the Wonderful Company. Fox bought Tubi for $440 million in March 2020, and the platform now says it has about 100 million monthly active users who stream roughly 1 billion hours of content each month.
