What the heck is Head of Content ?

Now that we know this, does that mean Ray Winninger is moving up to head WotC after Chris Cocks was promoted to head of Hasbro?

Todd works for the people who work for Ray.
He's going to do blogs and videos and Dragon+, stuff like that. Probably has a toe or two in their social and community teams.

Maybe my American interpretation of his words is different from others on this international site, but Todd's tweet says "head up content for D&D" and that sounds like he is in charge of all D&D content and is now the boss of the D&D section of WotC, which I think is Ray's job.

Mod Note: I've merged the two threads on this topic.

I assume he'll be head of stuff like Social Media, Livestreams, Interviews, Podcasts, etc.

I'm also American and have worked in and around the the employment field now knowns as content for about two decades.
He's most definitely not taking over the Executive Producer of the D&D Studio. On book credits he's almost certainly going to be listed with Greg, Shelly, Brandy's area.

Wizards confirms

My interpretation is that "content" is only a small part of the overall work going into D&D. It means something specific, not "everything going on with D&D", probably to do with social media and marketing content.

How exciting! His passion for D&D and the joy it gives him are clearly evident in the interviews he does.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

Well, not looking good so far if he couldn't even list his new job correctly in his first tweet about it. But I never watch those videos anyway, so it won't change how I feel about the game and brand.

Isn't that the Community Manager?
