Billy Parks Named Head of FOX Creator Studios

FOX Entertainment has tapped Billy Parks as head of FOX Creator Studios (FCS) to lead the vision, strategy and operations of the digital-first, creator-led label.

“FOX Creator Studios represents a fundamental evolution in how we work with today’s most dynamic storytellers, bridging the gap between Hollywood and the rapidly expanding creator economy,” said Rob Wade, CEO of FOX Entertainment. “Billy has built his career at the forefront of creator-driven media, blending creative instinct with investment and operational expertise. He understands that today’s creators are founders and brand builders, and he knows how to scale their ideas into enduring businesses. As we expand our digital ecosystem, we want to empower creators to bring their dreams to life, and Billy is the ideal leader to drive that effort.”

“Creators today aren’t waiting for permission,” Parks said. “They’re building the most dynamic media business in the world on their terms, recognizing that the future belongs to ideas that travel. FOX has a storied legacy of empowering great creative talent, and FOX Creator Studios is a natural extension of that legacy. Our goal is to meet creators where they are, respect what they’ve already built and help them grow, whether that means launching a new format, expanding into new verticals or scaling their brand across platforms. We want to be a place that understands their needs and helps turn momentum into enduring storytelling and entertainment brands.”

Under Parks’ leadership, FOX Creator Studios will expand into additional high-growth verticals while remaining platform-agnostic and developing IP that can live within FOX’s ecosystem or travel to third-party platforms worldwide.

Initially focused on food-centric talent, including partnerships with Gordon Ramsay through Studio Ramsay Global, Rosanna Pansino, Jolly, Sorted Food, The Food Theorists and Little Remy Food, FCS will leverage FOX’s production infrastructure, premium sales engine and global distribution capabilities to scale creator-driven brands across digital, linear and streaming platforms.

Parks previously served as executive VP of production and programming at The Chernin Group and held senior leadership roles at Fullscreen, Astronauts Wanted and Otter Media. He later returned to The Chernin Group as an operating partner. Most recently, he served as a venture partner at Slow Ventures Creator Fund.
