Blue Ant Bolsters Kids & Global Networks Sales Team

Blue Ant Media has made a number of new appointments, including naming Fox Networks Group alum Julio Sobral as general manager of Kids & Global Networks for Latin America and U.S. Hispanic.

In his new position, Sobral will manage the channel distribution and operation of Love Nature, ZooMoo and Arcade Cloud on linear and streaming platforms throughout the U.S. Hispanic, LatAm and Brazil markets. He will work under Ward Platt, the company’s CEO of Kids & Global Networks.

Sobral previously served as senior VP of business operations at Fox Networks Group in Europe and the U.S.

Reporting to Sobral, the Latin America and U.S. Hispanic sales group will comprise Loreto Gaete, covering Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico; Sebastian Galia, overseeing sales in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay; Fernando Gualda, who is charged with affiliate sales and distribution in the region; and Starrett Berry, covering the Caribbean and U.S. Hispanic.

These new appointments are meant to expand the channel presence of Love Nature, ZooMoo and Arcade Cloud in the LatAm and U.S. Hispanic regions. The execs will operate out of Blue Ant Media’s Los Angeles office.

“As we continue to add scale to Blue Ant Media’s bouquet of premium channels available internationally, our newly appointed sales team will help drive sales for Love Nature, ZooMoo and Arcade Cloud in the LatAm and U.S. Hispanic region,” said Platt.
