Prior to joining Thunderbird and Atomic Cartoons, Goldsmith was a part of the senior management team at Cyber Group Studios. He previously held key leadership roles in media distribution, licensing, merchandising and business development for major entertainment brands at companies that include The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Entertainment and The Jim Henson Company.<\/p>\n<p>Goldsmith will be based in Los Angeles and report to Thunderbird and Atomic Cartoons\u2019 chief creative officer, Matthew Berkowitz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a privilege to welcome Richard to the team as we launch our new Global Distribution and Consumer Products Division,\u201d said Berkowitz. \u201cThis expansion is a significant part of Thunderbird and Atomic\u2019s IP growth strategy. Richard\u2019s wealth of experience, exceptional business acumen and proven track record of phenomenal productions make him the perfect person to lead this venture. Alongside our creative teams, we hope to make some truly special shows together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goldsmith commented: \u201cThrough my work with Atomic Cartoons over the last two years on <em>The Last Kids on Earth<\/em> franchise, I was able to experience firsthand the Company\u2019s energy, expertise and creative thinking. Within the industry, the word \u2018love\u2019 is often used to describe Thunderbird\u2019s content and people. This is a powerful statement. I am thrilled and honored to join Thunderbird and Atomic as the Company enters a new era. I cannot wait to share our incredible new series with global media and consumer products partners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thunderbird Entertainment Group has formed a new global distribution and consumer products division, tapping industry veteran Richard Goldsmith to lead the new unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":19826,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1691,4750],"class_list":["post-19825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-richard-goldsmith","tag-thunderbird-entertainment-group","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
