Bolstering its UK team, Acamar Films has welcomed former Fox Consumer Products executive Sandra Vauthier-Cellier as its new chief commercial officer.
Sandra joins the company at the same time as it confirms TV rights of its flagship property Bing that will move back to Acamar from Aardman later this year.
From a long career in licensing, Sandra has a wealth of experience. She was most recently senior vice president consumer products EMEA of 20th Century Fox, while she has also held senior roles at Studio 100 Group and 4Kids Entertainment.
Besides Sandra, Acamar Films has also welcomed Eroulla Constantine who has joined as a new head of sales. She has ten years’ experience as senior director of international sales at DreamWorks Animation.
Ben Taylor joins the team as sales coordinator following four years at DreamWorks Animation and will work closely with Eroulla on all international broadcast sales.
CEO of Acamar Films, Mikael Shields said, “We are incredibly proud of the continued success of Bing to date. We want to thank our friends at Aardman who have done an incredible job securing key deals around the globe.
“Our aim was always to bring Bing back in-house once he had found his feet internationally and I am excited that senior executives of the calibre of Sandra and Eroulla are joining us as we drive forward with the next phase of expansion. We welcome Ben to our thriving and ever-growing team which works tirelessly on making Bing a success across TV and licensing and merchandising.”
