Employees of the erstwhile constituent core businesses will now all work under the Barcroft Studios corporate brand.<\/p>\n<p>Press agency Barcroft Wire and photographic agency Barcroft Images will not be affected by the restructuring.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the Barcroft Studios\u2019 reorganization, there has been a spate of new appointments, including that of former Wall to Wall Media executive Louise Murray to head of production. Danny Whitfield, formerly of Spun Gold\/Knickerbockerglory, will oversee external development. Ex-BBC Three Deputy Editor Lizzie Wingham will join as editorial commissioner. Former Off the Fence commercial exec Georgina Eyre has been hired in the role of distribution consultant.<\/p>\n<p>Barcroft Studios CEO Sam Barcroft said: \u201cAt Barcroft Studios, we have invested in original IP development for over a decade. We&#8217;ve now reimagined our group to best exploit the opportunities we\u2019re seeing emerging from creating and distributing successful content.
