NBCUniversal laid off employees on Thursday, as E! and Esquire consolidated their marketing departments.
The shake-up comesย less than a month after TheWrap wrote about impending department mergers and layoffs in a move to save money.
“To more fully align the E! and Esquire Marketing department we have restructured the team and as a result Leigh Anne Gardner and Tim Rosta are leaving the company. We thank them for their contributions and wish them the best,”ย an NBCU spokeswoman told TheWrapย in a statement.
Prior to Thursday’s layoffs, Gardner was the company’s senior vice president ofย print, online design, on-air design andย special projects at E! and G4.
