Valiant has promoted Gregg Katzman to the position of Director of Marketing & Publicity where he will use his nearly 10 years of experience in comics on announcement strategies, internal feedback, and more.

Katzman joined Valiant in 2018 as Marketing Coordinator, then moved up to Marketing Manager, and Marketing & Publicity Manager. In these roles, he has focused on expanding Valiant’s outreach in press and fan relationships. He has a B.A. in Communications from the University of Hartford, and before working at Valiant, he spent two years as the Marketing & Events Manager at Midtown Comics.

“As a Valiant fan who has been proudly promoting the comics since 2012, this really is a dream job,” Katzman said. “I recognize just how incredibly lucky I am to have this opportunity and I will continue to do my best to make sure we’re always thinking of the fans first, while also welcoming newcomers to explore one of the best shared universes in comics. I am sincerely very excited about the plans for 2022, and I can’t wait to get the word out in the coming months. Stay tuned and thank you for staying Valiant.”

“It’s great having Gregg on the Valiant team and his new position is well deserved,” Publisher Fred Pierce said. “Gregg is a true lover of the Valiant Universe and always puts the fans first. Our press coverage is ever stronger which means that more and more people are enjoying the Valiant Universe. In a world that often seems insane, Gregg lifts everyone around him up. I continue to look forward to working with him every day.”
