Beginner, Netflix has forged its own path of a DVD rental company by messaging to a streaming giant and a better original series player. Now, two of the five other streamers based in the United States, Prime Video and Paramount +, will wear part of this DNA entrepreneurship strategy.
During the last month approximately, the old original Netflix VP content for the English language programming Cindy Holland was officially appointed president of Direct-to-Consumer for Paramount, supervising the Streaming platforms of Post-Merger Company, which stood up at the head of the series of Scripted Ucan Studios, of his former lieutenant Peter of Global TV Prime Dishios TV.
They are not just Netflix alumni. They are part of the number of Netflix creative frames that shaped the original Streamer’s original standard strategy. Now, they can do it for the best competitors, validating what the original Netflix Originals team under the content agent of the time, Ted Sarandos, was able to accomplish.
Directed by Holland, this team included Friedlander, who joined in 2011, Nina Wolarsky, who was brought a year later, and Jane Wiseman, who was added in 2013.
Of the four, Wolarsky is the only one to work with Netflix – she is president of television for plan B, which is at the origin of the biggest and most rewarded for the broadcast of the year, streamer, streamer, streamemer, streamemer, the biggest program of the year of the Emmy Adolescence.
The other three will now compete with Netflix – Wiseman is the best programming director in Holland at Paramount + as an EVP, chief of originals, DTC. (Holland has also recruited another senior executive since the first days of original Netflix, Efrain Miron programming efforts, as EVP, head of the content strategy and license, DTC.)
Part of the Netflix series the trio was Orange is the new black, Stranger Things, The Crown, Bridgerton, Grace and Frankie, Ozark, The night agent, Black Mirror, Emily in Paris And Wednesday.
While Sarandos and Holland have passed through the origins of the Netflix technology company, in the last decade, Netflix has brought in traditional media executives – it has even been prosecuted for poaching. The director of current content in chief of streamer, Bela Bajaria, and the senior television official, Jinny Howe, who succeeded Friedlander at the head of the Scripted Ucan series, both come from inherited networks and studios.
Now, the tide has turned, with leaders who had made their notes to Netflix taking the main positions from competitors who seek to find other equipment and reproduce the success of Netflix. It is probably not a coincidence that Friedlander, a 14 -year -old Netflix veteran, and Holland, who was streaming for 18 years, was hired by a technological enterprise (Amazon), and a inherited studio whose new boss David Ellison wants to become a technological company (Paramount).
Holland has already taken a step, with Foreign things Creators The Duffer Brothers had to leave their longtime house in Netflix for a mega cinema, television and streaming in Paramount. There are rumors that more Netflix talents can re -engage with it in Paramount.
While streaming wars continue, Netflix has appeared so far. As they say, if you cannot beat them, join them – or ask one of their former star leaders to join you.
