Turner Broadcasting’s Animation, Young Adults and Kids Media’s Creative Group, which encompasses both on-air and off-channel creative departments, has a new VP of production in Susan Shipsky.

In her new role, Shipsky will be responsible for overseeing all video, print, special event and digital production and post-production for Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang sponsorship and collateral material.  She will also supervise all on-air branding, promotion production and post-production for Cartoon Network and Boomerang.  Shipsky will also take on the role of a communications point-person between departments for all production-related requests involving marketing, public relations, research, advertising sales, Turner Studios, Williams Street Studios and external production companies.  That involves overseeing booking, production and post-production for live shoots for all network priority promotions, specials and weekly packaging.

Shipsky hails from creative digital studio MaxMedia, where she served as VP of business development.  During her tenure there, she helped create a broadcast division for the company, leading a team of motion designers and animators to provide creative and technical expertise in interactive marketing across all digital platforms.  Prior to that, Shipsky was partner and executive producer at Primal Screen, a design and animation studio that primarily serves on-air departments at cable networks.
