Martin Kelley most recently served as MGM’s chief communications officer, supporting the company’s global communications efforts across all divisions of the studio. She worked closely with DeLuca and Abdy, who led the film division at MGM before moving to Warners, on films including “Women Talking,” James Bond sequel “No Time To Die,” “Licorice Pizza” and “House of Gucci.”

Prior to joining MGM, Martin Kelley spent 12 years at Paramount Pictures, where she oversaw domestic publicity and corporate communications for the studio. There she worked on several hit franchises, including “Transformers,” “Star Trek,” “Paranormal Activity” and “Mission: Impossible.” She was also involved in the Oscar campaigns for “Arrival,” “Selma,” “Fences” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

Martin Kelly previously worked as a publicity consultant for the production company Plan B Entertainment on its films “Beautiful Boy,” “If Beale Street Could Talk” and “Vice.” She is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
