Jillianne Reinseth has joined Vancouver-based Nerd Corps Entertainment as VP creative affairs, part of the company’s strategy to bolster its IP slate.
“Nerd Corps is a creative-first company focused on building kids entertainment brands that can travel the world. We look for the best in the creative community to work with, and bringing Jillianne onto the team is a key part of that strategy,” said company founder and CEO Asaph Fipke in a statement Monday.
“Nerd Corps is known for building great boys action-adventure properties and character-driven comedies, and the company has recently started branching into preschool and girls properties. My role is to continue that trajectory and help develop a robust stable of properties for Nerd Corps,” said Reinseth in her own statement.
Reinseth will oversee development of original IP and co-productions at the animation development and production company, including development of Nerd Corps’ newest original property, Endangered Species.
She has also worked at Disney, Nickelodeon, Studio B and Chorion, developing such properties as Kid vs. Kat, Lilo & Stitch, The Fairly OddParents and Famous Five.
