Former Audible head moves to BetMGM as VP of media and growth marketing
Evan Kory joins Entain and MGM Resorts International JV after seven-and-a-half years with Amazon subsidiary in several roles
BetMGM has named ex-Audible head of global media Evan Kory as its new VP of media and growth marketing.
Kory spent the last seven-and-a-half years at the Amazon subsidiary, starting as senior director of paid media in May 2018.
He then became executive director of global media in 2022 and then head of global media role in December 2023, the position he held until his departure.
Prior to joining Audible, he spent a little under four years with advertising services firm Zenith from July 2014 until April 2018.
While there, he held several roles including associate media director and SVP of strategy.
He also spent between September 2011 and July 2014 with Horizon Media, holding the assistant brand strategist, brand strategist, and senior brand strategist positions during his stay.
Announcing the move on LinkedIn, Kory wrote: “I’m honored to have joined BetMGM as VP of media and growth marketing.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of a brand I’ve admired for years as well as such a fast-growing business and category.
“Huge thanks to the whole BetMGM team for the opportunity to build on the tremendous momentum as we head into 2026.
“Looking forward to doing my part to ‘Make it Legendary.’”
In September, BetMGM announced the promotion of Jarrod Schwarz into the newly created COO role, promoting him from chief product officer.
Earlier this week, the Entain and MGM Resorts JV released its latest responsible gambling campaign ‘Mullet Over,’ highlighting its deposit and stake limits.
