WILLIAMSBURG, VA —

Beth Moore has been promoted to the newly created position of director of marketing in the products division at Colonial Williamsburg.

Reporting to James Easton, vp, products, Moore will lead strategic marketing initiatives across the products division and in conjunction with the hospitality division, as well as plan and implement promotions for licensed and non-licensed products for the Williamsburg catalog, retail stores and the licensing business. In addition, she is charged with growing the sales of Williamsburg products through integrated marketing programs for the Williamsburg brand and overseeing marketing communications.
