Alison Warner is Managing Director of Blue Zoo Rights, which manages Blue Zoo Studio’s content both for in-house animated projects and third-party co-productions with the studio.

Prior to that, Alison served as Vice President of IP Sales, Acquisitions and Co-Productions for Technicolor Creative Development. Alison developed and implemented funding and sales strategies for TCD’s in-house animated properties and also sourced new properties to acquire or co-produce.

In this role, she was instrumental in securing the rights to The Deep and is part of the team that helped put Technicolor’s animated shows Atomic Puppet and The Deep into production.

Alison was born in North Shropshire and spent much of her teen years in Wolverhampton and Birmingham before university and a career in London beckoned. She returned to live near the West Midlands over 20 years ago and is excited to see how the region has become focused on creating a diverse and impactful media hub. Alison is also on the Advisory Board for the Children’s Media Conference and is passionate about encouraging young talent within the Media Industry.
