Angela Ambrosini, creative/marketing director for the American Camp Association, has been named director of NYU's School of Professional Studies Strategic Communication, Marketing and Media Management programs.
She replaces Paula Payton, who held the post for about a year and is now chief commercial officer for SmartSports.
Ambrosini has been an adjunct professor in the school's Design, Digital Arts and Film department. Prior to overseeing design, PR and marketing for the ACA, she was associate VP and creative director at Christie's auction house and manager for creative services at the non-profit ARTstor.
The NYU SCPS dropped "PR" from the program's name in favor of "Strategic Communication, Marketing and Media Management" last year.
