In celebration of its 15th birthday as a company, Cyber Group Studios is hosting its first Online Cyber Meetings & Screenings.

“Cyber Group Studios’ first 15 years have been quite a ride!” said Pierre Sissmann, president and CEO of Cyber Group Studios. “And now what is ahead of us? As a 15-year-old teenager, we have vivid dreams for our future. One is to be a global digital entertainment group combining strategic and operational excellence with the innovation culture and agility of start-ups. Another one is to continue strengthening our international partnerships to deepen our foothold in strategic markets. But the most important one is to be able to continue creating compelling entertainment for kids and families and keep working and discovering new talent around the world as we have been doing so far. This is what has been at the heart of the foundation of our company 15 years ago and STILL motivates us all today.”

Cyber Group Studios was founded in 2005 by a handful of passionate young creative talents and former top-executives from The Walt Disney Company. Today, it is a 150-employee company with its headquarters in Paris, two production studios in Paris and Roubaix (France) and offices in Los Angeles. The company also holds strategic partnerships in China and in Russia. Since its inception, it has received 100 nominations and awards for its programs.

With an average yearly pipe of six series in production and 12 in development, Cyber Group uses a variety of animation techniques, from digital 2D to full CG and hybrid combinations, with a full HD catalog of 1200 half-hours/2400 episodes. The company has grown its organization to enable a complete trans-media exploitation of its intellectual properties with in-house divisions in charge of media distribution, interactive games, digital-to-consumer, theatrical and consumer products. Gigantosaurus is a current illustration with three seasons and added development in music videos, videogames and digital games, books and magazines, toys, consumer products, stage show and a theatrical movie in the pipeline.
