There’s a celebration going on within the company, All Things Comedy as Russell Weissman gets promoted to Chief Operating Officer (COO). All Things Comedy is a creative and inventive production company and podcast network that was founded by Bill Burr and Al Madrigal. Weissman started at ATC (All Things Comedy) as VP of Audience Strategy and Marketing in 2017, as he had a vast knowledge of digital and traditional entertainment, and from all his hard work and dedication to building a framework for ATC, gaining partnerships, and finding new revenue streams, he worked his way up to COO.
Weissman’s new position will consist of him leading audience procedures and supervising distribution, sales, business development, and podcasts. He’ll also support the founders and the development team as they work to expand their work to film and TV. Deadline got an insight with ATC President and CEO Mike Bertolina, Burr, and Madrigal as they expressed joy at Weissman’s promotion.
Bertolina stated, “For the past six years, Russell Weissman has been a great partner in the strategy and growth of All Things Comedy. He continued, “As his role has grown, and his impact felt on so many facets of our business, it became clear that promoting him to COO was warranted and commensurate with his responsibilities. I look forward to building further with him in this next phase of the business.”
Burr added, “At All Things Comedy, we are very excited to announce Russell Weissman’s promotion to COO. He has been one of the driving forces behind our growth since starting at ATC. We are looking forward to continuing to grow our podcast platform with him in this new position.”
Madrigal mentioned, “Not only has Russell become recognized as one of the foremost experts in podcast advertising, development, and marketing, but he has truly excelled at translating the lofty vision of two bonehead comedians into a thriving business. I’m extremely excited to enter this new chapter with him as our COO, and I’m even more excited for him to explain to me what those initials mean.”
Congratulations to Weissman and his new position as COO at All Things Comedy!
