Toronto-based Serial Maven Studios has announced the hiring of senior content industry executive Julie Chang as its COO and executive producer.

Chang joins Serial Maven after eight years at Blue Ant Media, most recently as EVP of business strategy and coproductions, where she headed up all aspects of business operations for the company’s global media originals commissioning group across Canadian linear and global FAST channels.

Prior to Blue Ant, Chang worked as an entertainment lawyer and later served as SVP, acquisitions and business affairs for Peace Point Rights.

Serial Maven Studios is a premium content business dedicated to exploring new models for the development, financing, production, distribution and monetization of original unscripted IP. It was launched in January by former Blue Ant EVP, Solange Attwood, the new prodco’s CEO, and industry exec Asha Daniere as its president.

“Julie’s expertise in international co-productions and co-financing models is amongst the best in the unscripted industry. Her impressive track record and extensive network with best-in-class creative talent will continue to grow our global reach,” said Attwood and Daniere in a joint statement.
