[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] CJ ENM's U.S. studio FIFTH SEASON has recently grown in size by recruiting a large number of talent from global media companies such as British public broadcaster BBC and Amazon Studio. It is known that the company has begun to reorganize its business structure to expand its global distribution and distribution network.
According to the industry on the 8th, People Season recently promoted Jennifer Ebell to Vice President of Sales and Acquisition of EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and launched a full-fledged drive to strengthen its business in the region.
In addition, Ava Mustos, who was in charge of the drama advertising business at the BBC studio, and Maria Grazia Ursino, who led content sales at Walt Disney and Fox Network Group and Sony Pictures Television, also joined the People season.
The Fifth Season expects to expand its media distribution network in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and maximize synergy in its sales organization. People Season, currently headquartered in LA, USA, operates global bases in New York, London, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Beijing and Colombia.
In December last year, Jill Arthur, a former Amazon studio executive, joined the Fifth Season as vice president of TV content development and production. Jill Arthur, who has been a senior executive at Amazon Studios for nine years, has participated in the production of a series of large projects such as "Hanna" and "The power."
In October last year, Joe Hipps, a former producer of the political thriller drama "House of Cards," was promoted to CEO of TV development and production. The TV studio production division of the People's Season, led by him, was nominated for 27 awards at the Emmy Awards last year and was recognized for its achievements.
