Animation Hub Frederator Names New Director Of Networks, Bolsters YouTube Talent Management Team

Frederator Networks, which has produced hit animated shows like Bee and Puppycat, Bravest Warriors, and Netflix’s Castlevania, announced today that it has promoted Fullscreen alum Kenneth Ash (pictured above) — who’s been with the company for a year — to director of networks, social video strategies, and operations.

Ash was previously senior manager of Frederator’s YouTube-focused multichannel network, Channel Frederator Network. He has helped numerous large brands and companies — including Barbie, Hot Wheels, Syfy, The New York Times, and The Ad Council — develop their YouTube presences.

Frederator has also onboarded and promoted several employees to the Channel Frederator Network team. That branch of Frederator is dedicated to helping its roster of more than 3,000 YouTube creators develop audiences, and manage and monetize their content.

Newly hired Andrea Metivier has joined Channel Frederator Network as its network operations manager. Metivier was previously an associate producer on the Mother Goose Club family of YouTube channels — the main channel of which has nearly 5 million subscribers. Also newly hired is Thomas Torchio, who has been named network operations coordinator.

From within Frederator, Marley Diazdelvalle has been promoted to lead talent coordinator, while Autumn Myers and Nick Reid are now Channel Frederator Network talent coordinators.
