⭐ Studio71 Spotlight: Sammie Garcia, Audience Growth Specialist⭐ As an Audience Growth Specialist on the Channel Strategy team, Sammie plays a key role in serving client partnerships across various industries including Music, Television, Kids & Family, and Automotive categories. Her work involves a range of services including channel management, content strategy, analytical reporting, and original production, all aimed at driving growth and engagement for top-tier clients. Starting at #Studio71 right out of college, Sammie’s had a wild two years working closely with some of the industry’s leading companies. Her ability to embrace change and learn quickly has been vital to her success — enabling her to stay ahead of the internet’s changing landscape. “Always be open to collaborating and networking with other people and teams. You never know where your next source of creativity will come from.” The most notable moment from her career thus far has been her work on the show ‘Rap Life Review’ for #AppleMusic. Her contributions not only positively impacted the show, but influenced social commentary surrounding artists Kendrick Lamar and Drake, showcasing the power of digital content in shaping cultural conversations! For Sammie, the most rewarding aspect of her job is the ability to express herself creatively and see her ideas come to life: “There’s something incredibly fulfilling about taking a concept from its initial stages, nurturing it, and watching it grow into something tangible that has a real-world impact. The creative process is both challenging and exhilarating; it pushes me to think outside the box, to innovate, and to continuously refine my ideas until they reach their full potential.” Join us in celebrating Sammie’s impactful journey and two-year work anniversary today!

⭐ Studio71 Spotlight: Samir Asthana, Director, Business Development ⭐ Samir leads the OTT department at #Studio71, overseeing distribution efforts across VOD, FAST, and CTV platforms. His responsibilities include negotiating licensing opportunities with platforms such as Roku, Amazon, and Pluto TV, making deals with creative talent for distribution rights, and managing OTT distribution operations. He also collaborates with his team to develop creative marketing strategies and distribution verticals to maximize viewership and engagement. He first started here in 2022 as an associate director, originally tasked with optimizing VOD and FAST operations. He quickly improved offerings by implementing new programming and asset management strategies, significantly increasing the performance of creators’ series. Within a few months; Samir took on more responsibilities, prospecting and pitching new platform opportunities, which led to his promotion. Samir’s flexibility and adaptability to a constantly shifting entertainment landscape has been instrumental to his success. For others interested in the industry he encourages focusing on the 'growth' areas where there's a lot of momentum: "Being early to what becomes 'the next big thing' has a lot of benefits and is generally one of the more exciting things to pursue. Staying up to date with industry trends and events is incredibly valuable for finding and assessing new opportunities.” One notable highlight of his career has been the recent launch of a Roku FAST channel for one of our biggest gaming creators. This channel launch was the culmination of years of work from the #OTT team and has shown promising early metrics in viewership and engagement. “To see that success with a single-IP FAST channel of a digital creator, really highlights how digitally native content can truly compete with more traditional studio fare. We're excited to see the channel continue to grow.” We’re so proud to celebrate all of Samir’s accomplishments and invite you to do the same!
