Ive been so fortunate to benefit fromWheelhouses bold ambition and total commitment to collaboration that inspires the very best in its creatives, White added. Im incredibly excited to now deepen my contribution to the company and its immensely talented teams as we continue to forge new business paths, ignite groundbreaking partnerships and create hit content that leads the pop culture conversation.
Brent sold me on coming toWheelhouseto help build out a team of trans-Atlantic creative Avengers and thats exactly what were doing, Hugill said. We collaborate differently to share our superpowers across the entire group and its just thrilling to have the ability to plug into best-in-class business partners across the company all experts in their genres. Meanwhile, the ability to now hatch our biggest and boldest global ideas out of the new internationalWheelhouseStudios is a total homerun. Which is a baseball term, as I understand it.
