BermanBraun, a fast-growing digital media/television/movie company, just scored a touchdown: Jeff Berman, a respected executive at the National Football League, will become the entertainment company’s first president.

Mr. Berman (no relation to Gail Berman, who founded the company with Lloyd Braun) oversaw the N.F.L.’s extensive Web, mobile, social and nonconsole-gaming efforts.

BermanBraun operates Wonderwall.com (15 million unique users a month) and a growing roster of other lifestyle sites. Its television shows include the new NBC series “Deception,” which has its premiere on Monday night.

Although Ms. Berman and Mr. Braun have run the company without a president so far, business has grown to the degree that they needed a senior lieutenant.
