comiXology hires Chip Mosher

comiXology has announced Chip Mosher as its new vice president of marketing, public relations and business development.

He left his BOOM! Studios role as marketing director at the end of September.

Mosher worked at BOOM! for four years, in which time he oversaw campaigns including the popular 'Mark Waid is/WAS evil' teasers, and also saw the publisher expand rapidly during his time there.

"Seriously, you know, I love BOOM! and working there the last four years has been an incredible rocket ride," Mosher told Comic Book Resources.

"When I arrived in 2007, you could count the people that worked there on one hand and the number of titles BOOM! published on the other. And now... wow! BOOM!'s gotten so big with so many titles, it's really been just a phenomenal trajectory.

"Being part of the team that has taken BOOM! from not even being ranked in the top 20 comic companies to being firmly entrenched in the top ten has been a huge privilege. Honestly, there really wasn't that much out there that could take me away from BOOM!, but when this opportunity came up with comiXology... I just knew I couldn't pass it up."

Mosher said that the digital comics arena was open to new and sudden innovation and that he would work to see that comiXology does not fall behind.
