Joshua Barnett, Managing Director of After Party Studios said “Trent has been at the forefront of where YouTube meets mainstream, building IP and launching online shows with some of the biggest creators on the planet. He’s also exec produced some incredible series on linear, and has a window into the sports ents space, one of the fastest growing areas for the business. The fact he is also deeply ingrained into the talent world, developing formats with and for some of the biggest talent in the game, has us all very excited. We’re lucky to have him.’’
