Chief Revenue Officer, Media Solutions
Comcast Advertising

Dawn Lee Williamson is Chief Revenue Officer of Comcast Advertising's Media Solutions team, which provides a streamlined way for advertisers to build brand relevancy and sustainable business outcomes through multiscreen TV advertising campaigns – powered by the media, data, and technology assets of Comcast. In this role, she oversees all of Comcast Advertising’s U.S. media sales assets spanning agency, local, regional, and national; political, media & entertainment, and automotive; programmatic and addressable; and AudienceXpress. She also leads Sales Development, in addition to the new Agency Strategy & Partnerships team that will establish the go-to-market strategy across all lines of business, bridging Comcast’s media, data, and tech assets for national agencies in coordination with Comcast Advertising’s data teams.

 

Dawn joined the company as Regional Vice President for Effectv – which is now part of Media Solutions and operating under the Comcast Advertising brand – in the Southeast region in 2018. Under her leadership, the Southeast became Effectv’s top performing region in 2020. Dawn and her team fueled this growth by expanding existing customer relationships and creating new revenue opportunities.

 

In 2021, Dawn stepped up to serve as the Head of Sales Development at Effectv, leading the company’s new 300+ person sales development organization designed to accelerate Effectv’s client-centric approach to customer success. In this role, she oversaw a team focused on understanding clients’ holistic business needs, developing the right solutions to reach those brands’ audiences across screens, and driving measurable outcomes. Additionally, at the same time, Dawn led Mnemonic, Effectv’s in-house creative agency, and was the Executive Sponsor of the Salesforce implementation.

 

Dawn came to Comcast from VICE Media, where she was Senior Vice President, Head of U.S. Advertising Sales. There, she led revenue-generating strategies through custom client solutions, agency and media partnerships and other initiatives that reinforced and drove VICE’s value proposition in the marketplace. Before VICE Media, Dawn oversaw all commercial activity for BBC World News TV and BBC.com for the Americas (North America and Latin America). She also held global and domestic leadership roles at Turner Broadcasting System, TNT, CNN, and Cartoon Network.

 

Dawn is a two-time Cablefax “Most Influential Minority in Cable” honoree, a 2023 and 2024 Cablefax Diversity & Pride honoree, a former member of Effectv’s Diversity Board, and current National Champion for the Comcast, Asian Pacific American Employee Resource Group. She is also a member of She Runs It, an industry organization that aims to cultivate and promote female talent throughout all levels in marketing, media, and technology and mentors for Mentoro, a non-profit organization that mentors young professionals in the retail, media and tech industry.

 

Dawn has published articles in Ad Age and spoken at many industry conferences – including the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) Legislative Leadership Summit, ASOTU CON, the Digital Marketing World Forum Expo, and Matrix Solutions’ Media Ad Sales Summit. Additionally, Dawn graduated from the Betsy Magness Women’s Leadership, National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC) Executive Leadership program and the Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, WICT Network’s Senior Executive Summit (SES).
