Top NoA Sales and Marketing Execs leave
From Game Informer Online:
Quote:
Now that the June deadline date for Nintendo of America staff has reared its head, the fallout from Nintendo’s Sales and Marketing move has been leaked. According to our sources, approximately 90% of the Nintendo of America Sales and Marketing Staff has decided not to make the move to either San Francisco or New York, thereby taking a severance and leaving the company.

Three key executives will be leaving Nintendo of America, including Senior Director of Public Relations Beth Llewelyn; Vice President, Marking and Corporate Affairs Perrin Kaplan; and Senior Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Communications George Harrison. When these three will actually depart the company is unknown at this time, however, we’re betting on the fact that they’ll stay with Nintendo of America until the upcoming E3 show is over.

Currently, this basically wipes out the majority of Nintendo of America’s key marketing executives. The only two major executives remaining at Nintendo of America include Chairman and CEO Tatsumi Kimishima and President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. However, whether or not they will be packing a U-Haul and trekking to San Francisco or New York is unknown at this time.

Game Informer Online has interviewed all three of these executives countless times in the past years, and we wish them well in their future endeavors.

We have contacted our reps at Nintendo to get “official” word, and are still waiting to hear back with a statement.
Holy crap.

They can't...do marketing from Redmond? I really don't see the point of this move.


Someone get some tissues for Nenned.

Considering their current marketing sucks, that wouldn't be a bad move.

Oh no, who will be around to spread false info and get us excited about the next system being region free without Perrin Kaplan?

I guess it is just easier to have your marketing guys in a big city. I'd probably take the severance package myself since it is undoubtedly very generous and would fund any number of career moves

Regardless of whether you like those guys or not, people leaving a company is never a good sign.

George Harisson is tight, he'll be missed. Everyone else? Meh. Matt's going to be crying though. Maybe Perrin can get a job at IGN.

Anyways, these people aren't leaving the company because they're being laid off (ala Sony), they're leaving because they don't want to move with the company...which is kind of a pretty legitimate reason that really doesn't have too much bearing on the company itself.

Beth Llewelyn does a fair job, and Kaplan has her fans. Regardless, even when people leave by themselves, it is often the sign that conflict is raging on the inside. I know they weren't laid off, but when you have three major execs who oppose the move, maybe there are some efforts and compensations upper management can consent to.

And thats what happens when you don't sell enough copies of Brain Age. Iwata re-locates your department and forces you to leave.

Could Perrin go to Microsoft? There has always been a good relationship between her and Moore. Maybe she's a mole!

Yeah, but it could also mean that they don't want to up and move to another state. I'm sure they all have families and don't need something like this in their life. They are in marketing (they're really not big game players, as they've admitted themselves) and they'll be able to find new jobs. I just hope the new people are good.

Then again, things really could be wrong and Yamauchi could be extending his mighty pimp hand to America once more.

God Blessa!

Boy would it be a great time to be an Associate in the Sales and Marketing department at Nintendo. As long as you were willing to move you'd probably get like a 5 level promotion overnight.
