BBC Studios integrates its local media and streaming business
Robi Stanton will lead a new-look BBC Studios media and streaming team
BBC Studios is integrating its media and streaming arms in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia into a single division, with Robi Stanton to lead the business.
Stanton will take the title of president, APAC media and streaming. She joined BBC Studios in March, as the company’s executive vice president and general manager for global media and streaming in ANZ. Prior to this, she held senior leadership roles at CNN International, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Turner International, in both Australia and Singapore.
A press release explains the move is part of streamlining the BBC’s global operations and “accelerating growth across key international markets.”
Marcus Arthur, CEO, BBC Studios global channels, streaming and UKTV said in the release that “bringing BBC Studios’ media and streaming business in ANZ and Asia together under Robi’s leadership is a strategic step forward.
“Robi brings clarity, energy, and a sharp commercial lens to the region, and I’m confident this alignment will unlock new opportunities for growth and collaboration across APAC.”
Stanton said she is “excited to lead this next chapter as we build a more connected and agile business, focused on delivering world-class content and experiences to audiences across the region.”
This follows an earlier reshuffle in May, when BBC Studios Productions Australia expanded its leadership team with a number of executive appointments.
Scott Hartley joined as head of production for its scripted division, overseeing the company’s growing drama slate. Amanda Bainbridge, who has been with BBC Studios since 2023, shifted into the role of creative head of post production, leading post on unscripted shows, and Amber Brown joined as director of partnerships, digital and brands, driving off-air brand activations.
