Carlos Biern Joins DeAPlaneta Entertainment

Carlos Biern, who has worked at DIBOOS, BRB Internacional and Toonz Media Group, has been tapped by DeAPlaneta Entertainment as content and distribution director of the kids and family division.

Biern is tasked with accelerating the company’s trajectory, as well as enlarging the DeAPlaneta kids and family portfolio of animated series with original productions, co-productions and acquisitions and positioning the brand on TV channels and OTT platforms globally.

Previously, Biern served as president of DIBOOS (the Spanish Federation of Animation and Visual Effects Producers). He has also led creative and commercial, audiovisual, digital, interactive and merchandising teams at animation companies such as BRB Internacional and Toonz Media Group.

Biern said: “It’s a dream to join an international team with so much experience and success in the creation and expansion of family brands. Our mission will be to create and identify major successes capable of merging digital and the latest creative trends, without ever losing sight of our core interactive audience.”

Diego Ibáñez, chief brand officer, to whom Biern will report, said: “Carlos Biern is one of the most experienced European producers in the field of international animation, having worked in both the public and private sectors. His incorporation into the kids and family team is a great boost at a time of major growth for DeAPlaneta.”
