TeamFalco Adds David Hutchinson to Team

TeamFalco has added WildBrain alum David Hutchinson to its team as creative director to ramp up development on a slate of animated YouTube-first originals.

“I’m delighted to be joining an indie that recognizes YouTube as the launchpad for fantastic and innovative new animated shows, and the value of the platform as a curator for audiences,” Hutchinson said. “Nico [Lockhart] and Jessie [Stephenson] already have the right instincts with TeamFalco and I’m excited to jump in.”

Hutchinson joins from WildBrain, where he created hits like Boy & Dragon and Emojitown. He has also built series with major commercial partners, including Crayola and Radio Flyer.

“You cannot succeed on YouTube without deeply understanding your audience,” noted Stephenson, who serves as strategy director. “Bringing David’s expertise into our feedback loop between writing, publishing and iteration expands our creative bandwidth across both our client work and our own IP.”
