New International Sales Director at Bennett

LOS ANGELES: Scott Kirkpatrick has been promoted to director of international sales at the men’s entertainment production-distribution outfit Bennett Media Worldwide.

Kirkpatrick takes over the sales responsibilities and clients of Matthew Mancinelli, who will be leaving Bennett on July 24 for a new position at Shankly Productions. Kirkpatrick has held the position of coordinator of international sales at Bennett since late 2007, and previously served as the VP of sales, production and distribution at Atlas Worldwide Syndications.

“We are especially fortunate to have a young man of Scott’s caliber—with experience in both film and TV production and distribution— moving up in our team as we take on the challenges of new film and TV projects being prepared for MIPCOM and AFM,” said Bennett Media Worldwide’s president and CEO, Paul Rich.

Additionally, Bennett Media Worldwide announced promotions of Chris Prince to coordinator of international sales, and Emilie Dumay to executive assistant to the president. Both have been working at Bennett Media Worldwide since April.
