Nick North hires acquisitions exec

MIPJR NEWS: Viacom-owned Nickelodeon North has gone in-house for its new director of programming and acquisitions as Nick Germany's VP leaves the company [Nickelodeon Germany/Nickelodeon Deutschland VP leaves the company].

Victor Coolman, currently programming and acquisitions manager in Benelux and Scandinavia, will expand his role to oversee Nick North's 15 Nickelodeon-branded channels in Northern Europe, including in Germany and Austria. He reports into Nick North senior VP Patrick Alders.

Coolman will also be responsible for programming analysis and strategy across the Northern Europe region. Besides that, he will continue to manage Nick Jr Global, a network that began in Northern Europe but now reaches into 17 countries, including Spain and New Zealand.

Coolman's promotion comes after Nick Germany's VP and Nick North's deputy general manager Oliver Schablitzki left the channel this week to "pursue new career challenges." From today, Alders will relocate from Amsterdam to Berlin and add the day-to-day running of Nick Germany to his responsibilities.

"My time at Nickelodeon in Germany was characterised by the sense of entering a new era. I look back proudly on what we achieved. The decision to leave Nickelodeon has not been easy," said Schablitzki.

He had been with Nick Germany - which is part of Viacom International Media Networks' stable - since 2007 and took on day-to-day running of the channel two years later.

Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand welcomes Jules Clarkson as Director of Marketing and Commercial Partnerships. Previously serving Electronic Arts and Hasbro, Clarkson now dedicates his time to promoting the Nick network -- available to 2.3 million regional households -- to consumers and carriers. Clarkson takes over for Alison Bakunowich, who departed earlier this year to serve Nickelodeon UK.

Nickelodeon North encompasses Benelux, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and all the viewers of an estimated fifteen branded networks in-between. For this international division, news from London indicates Victor Coolman is promoted to Director of Programming and Acquisitions, tackling much of northern Europe. Coolman, already in charge of Nick Jr. Global, will be responsible for developing programming and overseeing acquisitions for Nickelodeon North.

Nickelodeon Consumer Products went through some meaningful changes as well, noting the departure of Leigh Anne Brodsky, who had been with the company for roughly twelve years. A source tells KidScreen.com that her position was "eliminated due to a realignment of [the] consumer products group." Said realignment reportedly includes consolidating consumer products with ad sales, marketing, and digital. Plans to replace Brodsky are as of yet unknown.
