Global kids' entertainment and franchise management studio
WildBrain operates a multi-platform entertainment business centered on owned and partner franchises (Strawberry Shortcake, Teletubbies, Inspector Gadget, Degrassi) distributed across streaming, FAST, and digital channels. The tech stack reflects a production-first organization: heavy use of 3D tools (Unreal Engine, Houdini, C++), content creation software (Adobe suite), and distribution platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video) rather than backend infrastructure. Hiring skews toward marketing and sales roles, with active project work focused on retail partnerships, Houdini tool development, and process optimization—signaling a push to scale licensing revenue and streamline production workflows.
WildBrain is a Toronto-headquartered entertainment studio and franchise management company that produces and distributes animated and live-action content for family audiences globally. The business operates three main pillars: content production (in-house and co-produced series for platforms including Netflix, Apple TV, and the BBC), a digital distribution network reaching audiences on YouTube, FAST channels, and AVOD services, and WildBrain CPLG, a licensing and consumer products division representing franchises across major territories. The company trades publicly on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: WILD) and counts 1,001–5,000 employees across production, distribution, and licensing functions, with hiring spread across Canada, the United States, and Asia-Pacific regions.
Core tools include 3D production software (Unreal Engine, Houdini, C++), content creation (Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop), distribution platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video), and business systems (Dynamics 365, Monday.com). Python and SQL support backend operations.
Key franchises include Strawberry Shortcake, Teletubbies, Yo Gabba Gabba!, Inspector Gadget, and Degrassi. Content is produced for Netflix, Apple TV, BBC, and distributed via YouTube, FAST, and AVOD channels globally.
