Stephen Davis to Oversee All Entertainment at Hasbro

LOS ANGELES: Hasbro is combining its TV, film, commercial productions and short-form content into one unit, under Stephen Davis, the president of Hasbro Studios.

Davis has been overseeing the global TV development, production and distribution for the company since 2009. In addition to television, he will now lead Hasbro’s film group as well as the studio responsible for commercials and short-form content. He will report to John Frascotti, Hasbro’s chief marketing officer. Bennett Schneir, the senior VP of motion pictures, and Terry Scott, the senior VP of the Cake Mix Studio in Rhode Island, will report to Davis.

“We are bringing together several of our entertainment groups so that we can fully drive our content development capabilities across our global franchises,” Frascotti said. “Stephen is the perfect choice to lead this important new initiative. In just three years, he has made significant contributions to strengthening the company’s global brands by propelling Hasbro Studios into one of the world’s most successful producers of animation and live-action programming.”

“We are in the early stages of unlocking the full power of Hasbro brands globally and this new group will capitalize on our talent and creativity on both coasts,” Davis added. “We are now in a tremendous position to expand our content and storytelling more impactfully across all screens around the world.”
