Michael Madnick appointed to new position at Fox

LOS ANGELES 20th Century Fox Licensing Merchandising announced Tuesday that it had appointed Michael Madnick to the newly created position of executive director of creative production.

Madnick’s job will be to manage Fox’s growing workload of creative projects, television commercials, content-heavy product development and special events, said Elie Dekel, executive vice president for licensing and merchandising for Fox L.

“As we continue to build synergies between our internal creative teams and those of our partners, it’s essential to have someone who can bridge that gap and represent our brands in the best creative sense,” Dekel said. “Michael is just the person to do this.”

Madnick, a graduate of California State University in Northridge, worked in several producer roles for shows in E!, NBC, TLC, Bravo, Comedy Central and the USA Network on shows such as “Fear Factor,” “The Man Show,” “Property Ladder” and “YO on E!.” For Fox, he has worked as vice president of special projects and live events for Fox Family Worldwide, where he worked on all special television products for Fox Family and Fox Kids.
