Longtime entertainment executive Lewis “Lew” Rothman, Head of Business Affairs and Operations for Strategy PR/Consulting, died suddenly and unexpectedly at his home in East Hampton on Friday.

He was 63. Among the vanguard at the intersection of the entertainment and tech businesses, Rothman had most recently served at Strategy PR/Consulting, the bicoastal entertainment PR agency specializing in awards campaigns for film studios and television & streaming companies.

Over his seven years there, he was instrumental in the company’s growth. Previous to that, Rothman took a position at newly-formed The Weinstein Company in 2006, serving as the movie studio’s Chief Technology Officer for ten-plus years.

Always ahead of the curve, in the early ’90s Rothman and his wife Serina Mayer started a new media consultancy, Vibemaster, Inc., which served as a strategic development liaison between entertainment and technology companies, crafting multiplatform marketing opportunities that introduced new ways to incorporate the burgeoning new media wave.
