Blink49 Studios has launched a new division to partner with content creators on developing IP that can be scaled across platforms, formats, and markets, enlisting Mickey Meyer to lead the new business.
As president of global creator studios in Los Angeles, Meyer will report to Tara Long, president of global unscripted television. The division will seek out alliances with creators who have already developed fan bases to roll out scripted, unscripted, and digital-first formats. The division will leverage Blink49’s existing production infrastructure to support development, financing, production, and global distribution.
Meyer’s career has included time at Maker Studios and Group Nine Studios, and he co-founded JASH, the creator-driven comedy studio launched with Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts, Tim & Eric, and Michael Cera. Most recently, he co-founded The Unreasnble with Travon Free and Martin Desmond Roe, focused on creator-led storytelling.
“Mickey brings a deep understanding of both digital-native talent and premium content creation,” said Long. “We are doubling down on the creator space as a key area of growth for Blink49 and see a clear opportunity to build a studio that supports creators in expanding their ideas into enduring IP. Mickey’s experience across production, partnerships, and the creator ecosystem gives him a strong foundation to lead this effort globally.”
“The most compelling creative voices of this era aren’t waiting to be discovered; they’ve already built the audiences,” Meyer added. “What’s been missing is the institutional infrastructure to match that ambition: the development, the craft, the financing, and the production muscle to turn a moment into something that endures. That’s the gap Blink49 Creator Studios is built to close. I’ve spent my career at this intersection, and I don’t think there’s a more important place to be building right now.”
