Valiant Entertainment is proud to announce two new hires: Drew Baumgartner joins Valiant HQ as Assistant Editor, and Zane Warman has been named to the position of Domestic Licensing Coordinator

Baumgartner, who has been contributing to the growth of the Valiant Universe as an Editorial intern since earlier this year and was instrumental in the publisher's rollout of its recent BREAKTHROUGH initiative, will play a key role in the development of Valiant's upcoming titles (more info on that very soon!) and the expansion of the universe and its fan-favorite characters

Warman, who will join forces with International Licensing Coordinator Oliver Taylor, will aid in the establishment and coordination of domestic licensing relationships, as well as schedule and take part in product development and coordinate with Valiant's Marketing team to spread the word about new licensing relationships

I am hoping this means... action figures...

I like the sudden flurry of activity down at Valiant HQ. I really hope this (along with other recent announcements) means that Mintz is loosening the purse strings and getting things cranking.

And yes, action figures are looong overdue.

Why is Valiant the only publisher to announce stuff like this?

[AnarchoMambo]

Because at Valiant, people matter. Pretty simple and satisfying explanation.

Positive press? It helps to convince investors that the company is maintaining momentum, and counteracts the negative press from when someone departs the company. Valiant lost one Executive Editor, but immediately announced four separate promotions before/after the firing of Joe. The positive press outweighs the negative in the public's eyes and the eyes of investors. Announcements like this will likely disappear after the first Bloodshot trailer comes out.
