As many of you know, I recently left the Safran Digital Group for a position as Vice President of Digital Marketing at 20th Century Fox Films, a division of Fox Filmed Entertainment.

There were many factors that went into my decision, but the bottom line was that I was offered a chance to return home to the studio and work with some of the brightest executives in the business applying my experiences and learnings from SDG, from a digital innovation, distribution and monetization standpoint, to feature film campaigns.

In addition, Fox recently announced an aggressive reorganization which puts a new focus on developing digital business models and keeps my goal of helping to develop sustainable digital economics aligned with my professional responsibilites.

During this transition, and the negotiations that preceded it, my blogging and tweeting has suffered significantly. As much as I’d like to revive the volume of posts to both, the reality is that I don’t expect that to happen for a while.

I’ve turned off the comments for this post, so if you have any comments or questions, please direct message me on Twitter.
Proud of you guys,
JZ

Now Gianopulos and Rothman are getting their own digital content head as Peter Levinsohn moves from president of Fox Interactive Media to president of new media and digital distribution for Fox Filmed Entertainment. Some details of Levinsohn’s new job, which won’t be announced until Monday, emerged with the news that Jon Miller plans to join News Corp. as chief digital officer, with operating responsibility that includes MySpace and the other units of FIM, as well as Jamba.
