Q&A With Jon Marks - SVP Turner



Jon Marks has a long and successful career in media starting out of college at Young and Rubican where he worked for industry veteran David Marans in the Media Research Department. Research is a passion with Marks. He believes that it is a great place to absorb and learn about our business. From the advertising world he moved to Telemundo at the time the network just signed on for Nielsen measurement. Ultimately, his career path led to Turner where, as SVP, he is responsible for Programming, Marketing and Digital Research for TNT, TBS, TruTV and TCM. In this fascinating interview, Marks discusses network branding, his work at Turner, Telemundo and Channel One, branding networks, his specialty data and analytics work and, looking ahead, what the media landscape could look like five years from now.
