Film distributor Icon Films Distribution made 60 percent of their Marketing Department redundant last week as the company implemented a staff restructure.
The news came as a surprise to the three staff members who were let go, with both the publicity and promotions positions retrenched. The Advertising & Production Traffic Manager was also made redundant.
The two remaining marketing staff at Icon are now Head Of Marketing and the junior role of Marketing Coordinator – the latter having started five weeks ago.
Today Head Of Marketing Tracy Whybrew told theMusic.com.au that the company had “no comment to make” following the restructure.
It is unclear whether the company would replace the staff, outsource publicity functions or incorporate them into existing roles.
Icon Films' current films include Hyde Park Of Hudson, Spring Breakers and Sinister.
