*Sony Pictures on Monday announced a shuffle in its corporate communications office, with outgoing senior vice president, media relations for Sony’s motion picture group, Jean Guerin, to be replaced by former New York-based publicist Tahra Grant.
Grant, who will report to Bob Lawson, joined Sony more than a year ago from Rubenstein, the New York-based communications agency where she served as a vice president in the entertainment division. There she handled communications for clients that included the Tribeca Film Festival, the Metropolitan Opera, and the Orchard.
Since joining Sony, the film division has been Grant’s main area of focus. “As such, she is well-positioned to ensure a smooth transition, without interruption to our day-to-day activities, and to lead our corporate communications efforts in the film group moving forward,” Lawson wrote in the staffing announcement.
Before joining Sony, and previously Rubenstein in New York, Grant was a well-respected publicist in New York’s film circles, handling corporate communications for such clients as Tribeca Enterprises/The Tribeca Film Festival, The Metropolitan Opera and The Orchard. She also led campaigns for film and TV titles including the “Hunger Games” franchise, Steven Soderbergh’s “The Girlfriend Experience” and Jane Campion’s “Top of the Lake.”
