Promoting from within sends a message to everyone in the organization that if they work hard, grow and gain the respect of their co-workers and managers, then they can expect to be noticed and rewarded.
Such was the case for Leila Stilwell, the new marketing director at KGTV, the Scripps-owned ABC affiliate in San Diego.
Stilwell is what I would call a classically trained manager. She started as a creative services assistant at her first station. When she came to San Diego and KGTV, she was a writer, editor and producer, winning Emmy Awards and nominations.
“She is the heart and soul of the creative services department,” said Joel Davis, WKTV’s station manager. “Now, she’s also the brains.”
“I’m honored to be given the opportunity to guide the marketing direction at KGTV 10News,” said Stilwell. “Broadcast television is changing at a rapid rate and that ignites the optimum environment to be creative, take risks and find new ways to connect our unparalleled, enterprise news content to San Diego consumers.”
“Leila Stillwell’s creative talents combined with her analytical mind made it hard to consider anyone outside of these four walls,” said Jeff Block, KGTV’s general manager.
“She is the type of person you want on your team and this is her time.”
