Mallory Morehead Pritzl has joined Kovert Creative as a senior member of the entertainment PR firm's communications team. The bi-coastal agency assigned her oversight of high-profile late-night and production clients including "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", Amy Poehler's Paper Kite Productions, and the podcast and media company SmartLess Media, which counts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett as co-founders. Bloomberg Media also falls under her purview.
Morehead Pritzl brings experience managing communications for major entertainment properties. Her hire represents Kovert Creative's continued expansion in the competitive entertainment PR space, where the firm competes with powerhouses like The Lede Company and Sunshine Sachs for high-value clients in television, podcasting, and digital media.
The move comes as late-night television remains a focal point for networks and streamers, with "Jimmy Kimmel Live" serving as ABC's cornerstone in the format. SmartLess, meanwhile, has become a top-tier podcast property, generating significant revenue for iHeartMedia through its distribution deal. Paper Kite Productions has expanded beyond Amy Poehler's personal projects to develop content across multiple platforms.
Kovert Creative has built its reputation on strategic communications for entertainment industry players navigating everything from talent controversies to major announcements and awards season campaigns. The firm's bi-coastal presence allows it to manage clients across Los Angeles production hubs and New York media headquarters simultaneously.
