Sony Promotes Entertainment PR Chief Robert Lawson to Head of Corporate Communications in Tokyo
Sony Pictures Entertainment communications chief Robert Lawson has been promoted to head of all corporate communications for Tokyo-based parent Sony.
He will begin his new role April 1, reporting directly to Sony Group chairman and CEO Kenichiro Yoshida, but remain LA-based and part-time as head of SPE comms for the next few months as the company transitions and names a successor. Over the years that he’s been leading the team, Lawson’s managed the company through multiple comms situations, including the exits of top executives, major re-orgs, the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2023 writers and actors strikes. Whether reinforcing SPE’s ongoing commitment to theatrical distribution or our position as the industry’s leading independent “arms dealer” in the streaming wars, or promoting our strategic investments in new growth areas, or keeping our global employees connected during the pandemic, Bob’s smart and strategic approach to internal and external communications and strong leadership has made SPE CCOM an essential part our overall business strategies and a key contributor of some of our greatest successes of the last decade.
