ZAG continues to welcome new members to its growing team.
The company behind the ever-popular Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir animated series is continuing its growth, including into more global markets. Thienne Manzoni Ribeiro has joined the company as the first Retail & Trade Marketing Director in Brazil. Manzoni will be reporting directly to Angela Cortez, Vice President of Licensing, Latin America and Canada.
“With the growth of Miraculous over the past two years, the recent launch of Ghostforce, and the upcoming slate from ZAG — which includes the animated feature Melody, starring singer, songwriter, and actress Katy Perry — this is the ideal time for us to bring aboard Thienne to continue to expand ZAG’s presence at retail and ensure our retail partners are well informed about our company, the engaging and empowering programming that we create, and the products from all of our licensing partners including Novabrink and our master toy partner Playmates Toys,” says Cortez. “We welcome Thienne to our growing team, and her skills in strategic planning, sales forecasting, and promotions, all designed to increase shelf space, will be invaluable to our retail efforts.”
Manzoni has previous experience within the industry of entertainment and toys, having worked as an executive at Warner Bros., Viacom, and Mattel. In her new role at ZAG, she will focus on Miraculous in partnership with the Globo licensing team. Manzoni will also be working with the Ghostforce brand, a more recently launched series from ZAG. Ghostforce will be getting a series of 18-inch figures from Novabrink as well as costumes which will release this year. Other partners planning product launches with the brand include Xalingo and Playmates Toys.
Miraculous continues to be a successful licensing brand for ZAG, with global product expansion and new partnerships regularly introduced. Thienne Manzoni Ribeiro will be helping lead this charge within Brazilian markets.
