Denise Kaigler from Reebok International takes Perrin Kaplan's old spot as Nintendo's vice president of Sales & Marketing.
I wonder how one transitions from marketing shoes to marketing video games.
| Nintendo Press Release wrote: | REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 14, 2008 - Nintendo of America announces the appointment of two sales and marketing executives to work from the company's new Bay Area office in Redwood City, Calif. Denise Kaigler joins as vice president of Marketing & Corporate Affairs, while Bill van Zyll becomes the new director and general manager of Latin America. Van Zyll's appointment is effective immediately, while Kaigler starts Feb. 18. Both will report to Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing.
"Denise and Bill bring a wealth of branding and marketing experience to our team," Dunaway said. "Their expertise will help us keep Nintendo's momentum going strong throughout 2008 and beyond."
Kaigler will oversee all aspects of corporate affairs, including corporate communications, public relations, government affairs, investor and analyst relations, and internal communications for Nintendo of America, and will play a key role in global coordination. Kaigler comes to Nintendo following a 16-year tenure at Reebok International, where she serves as head of Global Corporate Communications and Corporate Citizenship. She also serves as head of Corporate Communications in the United States for the adidas Group, the parent company of Reebok. Kaigler replaces Perrin Kaplan, who left Nintendo at the end of December. |

I'd better not see any Sonic commercials only to find out they're advertising his shiny red shoes. |

It's not like they'll bring back those "who are you?" commercials, like the one with the guy dressed as Link, acting silly, advertising the Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition Disc. |
