From our Where Are They Now Department comes news of execs from two major companies in the pop culture space turning up elsewhere.  Former Marvel President of Worldwide Consumer Products Tim Rothwell and former President of Marvel International Bruno Maglione, who joined Marvel at the same time from Universal and left together in July (see 'Two More Leave Marvel') have turned up at International Management Group (IMG), where they will head up sports and entertainment worldwide licensing and consumer products. 

And Cynthia Money, who was a VP handling licensing, merchandising, and retail development at Viz, is now President of Worldwide Consumer Products at Taffy Entertainment, which reps licensing for Moonscoop, which does both its own productions and produces animation for other companies (like Fantastic Four for Marvel, see 'FF Ratings Strong').

Of note to us is that licensing executives selling comic and anime properties are becoming attractive to companies engaged in other categories of licensing -- a sure sign that licensing in these pop culture categories is gaining in visibility and importance.
