Paramount+’s Communications Team Dissolved As Layoffs Hit Streamer Hard


One of the units that is essentially being dissolved is Paramount+'s communications operation, with SVPs Morgan Seal and Amanda Cary among those impacted.

The move was foreshadowed last week by the departure of Erin Calhoun who oversaw the department as EVP, Head of Communications, Paramount Streaming & Showtime and Cross-Company Publicity. As Deadline reported exclusively earlier today, 29-year veteran Tina Koyanagi-Rosener and her eight-person team in content strategy for Paramount+ were among the hundreds who were laid off as part of Paramount Global’s plan to slash 15% of its U.S. workforce. Cary, who joined Showtime in 2013 and was promoted to SVP in 2022, oversaw the New York-based entertainment PR team, working on series such as Dexter and Yellowjackets, before segueing to Paramount+ last year.
