\n\tFormer NBCUniversal communications exec Allison Rawlings<\/a> is heading to Disney Entertainment, where she\u2019s been tapped as the new head of FX<\/a>\u2018s publicity and communications department.<\/p>\n

\n\tRawlings replaces longtime FX publicity chief John Solberg, who announced in June that he would retire from the post<\/a> after nearly 30 years. In her new gig, Rawlings will report to FX chairman John Landgraf<\/a>. She\u2019ll also have a dotted line report into Naomi Bulochnikov, Disney Entertainment Television & Direct-to-Consumer\u2019s executive VP of communications.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFX\u2019s communications strategy has always been founded on a passionate support for the artists who make our brand their home, as well as an unwavering commitment to respect for the journalists who cover our industry,\u201d Landgraf said in a statement. \u201cWith Allison at the helm of our publicity and communications team, we gain an admired leader whose experience, creativity and passion will continue and amplify FX\u2019s work \u2014 and the integrity with which we pursue it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her oversight includes consumer publicity campaigns for FX originals that are both streamed exclusively on Hulu and Disney+, and also run on the FX and FXX cable channels.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFX has long been synonymous with exceptional entertainment,\u201d Rawlings said. \u201cAfter years of admiring them from afar, it\u2019s a privilege and a thrill to be joining this incredible team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRawlings, who joined NBCU in 2016, was most recently exec VP of communications for TV and streaming at NBCUniversal before departing earlier this year. In that position she oversaw communications strategy across NBC, Peacock and six cable networks. Last year, that included \u201crepositioning Peacock leading up to and during the 2024 Paris Olympics.\u201d She departed in March<\/a> after a corporate restructuring saw her communications duties shift to New York.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore NBCU, Rawlings was head of public relations at DreamWorks Animation, building the company\u2019s first integrated communications function and guiding publicity for Oscar-nominated films such as \u201cThe Croods\u201d and \u201cHow to Train Your Dragon 2.\u201d She also helped launch DreamWorks Animation Television in 2013. <\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier in her career, Rawlings focused on the nonprofit arts, serving as head of communications for the Geffen Playhouse, brand strategy for Center Theatre Group and publicity for the Hollywood Bowl.
