While Acamar Films enjoyed quite the successful past 12 months in the public space, with the launch of its new app Bing: Watch, Play, Learn, and the debut of Bing’s Christmas in 106 cinemas across the world, for the UK independent studio, things were just as eventful behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Hill has taken on the newly created role of marketing director, leading on Bing’s global marketing and communications strategies. Hill brings with her over 15 years’ experience across content and licensing.

She was previously global brand director at DHX Media and has worked at FremantleMedia Kids & Family, 4Kids Entertainment and Disney amongst other places.

Finally, Ruedilyn Schwegler joined Acamar Films as head of marketing from Warner Bros. where she was key to the global branding, marketing and communications of Harry Potter and the newly created umbrella brand, the Wizarding World.

Schwegler has 11 years’ experience in entertainment marketing and has worked at UKTV, BSkyB and Channel Nine Australia.
