Blue Ant Ups Solange Attwood, Secures Lifestyle Sales

Blue Ant International has presold two new lifestyle series, while Solange Attwood has been promoted to the post of executive VP of international at Blue Ant Media.

In her new role, Attwood will continue to oversee the strategic direction of Blue Ant Media’s international distribution arm. Her portfolio includes spearheading co-productions for the international sales group, presales and worldwide sales activities. She will also oversee the business’s ongoing expansion and sales offices in London and Toronto.

Crazy Beautiful Weddings, a Blue Ant Media original production, has been presold to U.S.-based cable channel UP TV. The series follows wedding planner extraordinaire Lynzie Kent as she uses couples’ unique love stories to create special celebrations for them. The series is currently in production and will be available at MIPTV 2018. Meanwhile, Best Cake Wins, created by Toronto-based content production company Architect Films, has been presold to BYUtv. Best Cake Wins is a baking competition series that sees two cake-makers battle it out in an attempt to make one child’s most awesome birthday cake imaginable a reality.

“Over the past four years, Solange has organically built a distribution business at Blue Ant that has grown from a few hundred hours of content to a robust catalog with hundreds of hours of premium programming, in a broad range of categories,” said Michael MacMillan, the CEO of Blue Ant Media. “Solange’s leadership in content distribution combined with her proven track record of delivering on client needs and customer service has been a key driver of our Blue Ant Media’s growth.”
