They collaborate closely with Development, Creative, and Sales to ensure brand alignment, manage escalations, and deliver bespoke solutions that resonate with both clients and audiences. Trade Marketing: The Trade Marketing team’s mission is to generate demand and drive revenue by elevating NBCU’s brand in the marketplace through strategic communications, thought leadership, and client engagement initiatives. The team is structured across three core areas—Industry Marketing, Partner Marketing, and Content & Growth Marketing—and is responsible for producing best-in-class trade campaigns, sales enablement tools, tentpole event activations, and CRM-driven marketing efforts. Development: The Development team creates sellable content partnerships and sponsorships that connect brands with NBCUniversal’s IP, products, and audiences.

Through strategic storytelling, they keep both employees, and the marketplace informed and engaged.
