Seasoned sales professional Nelson Huynh
assumes the newly established role, effective immediately
Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (TSXV:TBRD, OTC:THBRF)
(Thunderbird or the Company) is pleased to announce the appointment
of Nelson Huynh to the role of Director, Distribution Sales.
Huynh will license Thunderbird’s animated and live-action kids
series from Atomic Cartoons and primetime scripted series from
Thunderbird to broadcasters, streamers and other media outlets with
a focus on EMEA, Latin America and Asia. Reporting to Richard
Goldsmith, President of Global Distribution and Consumer Products,
he will also work to secure commissions, presales and
co-productions for new series from Thunderbird’s animated, scripted
and unscripted (Great Pacific Media) series production divisions.
And Huynh will represent Thunderbird Distribution at major global
media markets, beginning with MIPJUNIOR and MIPCOM, which take
place in Cannes, France, from October 15-20, 2022.
In this newly created role, Huynh will draw on his sales
experience and global industry network, primarily cultivated during
his tenure at market-leading international B2B kids and family
information brand, Kidscreen, owned by Brunico Communications.
“Like many others in the industry, I have worked with Nelson for
several years and have been impressed by his sales acumen and his
kind and smart approach to clients,” said Goldsmith. “He is exactly
the type of talent that we were looking for to join our growing
team as we continue to build our production slate and undertake
more third-party distribution opportunities.”
“Thunderbird has an impressive library of TV series ranging from
the hit primetime comedy Kim’s Convenience to the animated The Last
Kids on Earth, based on the wildly popular book series,” said
Huynh. “And with more on the way, I can’t wait to dig in and expand
the global reach of these series. I am beyond excited to join
Thunderbird Distribution.”
Huynh will be based in Toronto. He previously served as
Associate Publisher at Kidscreen, where he oversaw all sales and
sponsorship activity for the multi-million-dollar brand, expanding
its client base and managing long-term relationships. Prior to
moving to Canada in 2014, he held various positions in media sales
in his native Australia.
In 2021, Thunderbird established its Distribution and Consumer
Products division to partner with its production companies to
increase company-owned intellectual property, expand content sales
around the world, and establish consumer brands. And most recently,
Thunderbird Distribution acquired global media rights for the
ultra-cute live-action preschool series, Mittens & Pants,
produced by Windy Isle Entertainment, that’s slated to bow later
this fall on CBC Kids in Canada and Sky Kids in the UK.
