Spin Master Entertainment has brought former Entertainment One Family exec Laura Clunie on-board as VP of creative affairs, girls and preschool.

Stepping into the new role on February 10, Clunie is tasked with overseeing development and production for Spin Master’s preschool and girls properties. This includes the company’s popular preschool series PAW Patrol, co-produced with Nickelodeon, which has seen high ratings and a growing licensing program.

She will also helm its new girl-skewing series Little Charmers, which recently premiered on Nickelodeon (the US) and Treehouse (Canada).

A 20-year industry vet, Clunie was previously the VP of creative affairs at eOne Family and a producer for Chorion (Silvergate Media) in London, England.

She joins Spin Master’s senior creative director and executive producer, Josh Fisher, who will continue to oversee boys action properties, Spindo TV and content for emerging platforms.
