Studio 100/m4e Restructures International Licensing Team

Studio 100 Media and m4e are reorganizing their international licensing team as the two companies continue to combine following Studio 100 Group’s acquisition of a majority interest in m4e earlier this year.

Peter Kleinschmidt, commercial director at m4e, will now oversee the division and all activities related to the company’s international L&M business. He will help drive the commercial performance of brands within the group’s portfolio. He manages such owned and third-party properties as Maya the Bee, Mia and me, Arthur and the Minimoys and Sherazade—The Untold Stories.

Joining the team is Esra Sahin, who has been named international licensing manager. She will work out of Munich, Germany, under Kleinschmidt. Earlier in her career, Sahin held a stock footage licensing position at Framepool.

In addition, Sara Acquier from Studio 100 Animation in Paris becomes responsible for the French market as head of licensing in France.
