News Summary:
On June 19, 2026, Streamland Media’s Formosa Group appointed Jackie Jones as president, shifting founder Robert Rosenthal to emeritus status. Jones, who previously built the unit's broadcast division into a steady contributor, now takes day-to-day control of client bookings and staffing for a business whose largest accounts include HBO, Netflix, and Apple, in a move aimed at preserving revenue from its episodic and broadcast sound work. Previously, on May 28, the company named longtime Xbox executive Kristofor Mellroth as Senior Vice President and Head of Co-development for Arrival, its game creative and co-development division. This appointment aims to strengthen Arrival's push to expand its role as a large-scale production and development partner for major game publishers and platforms. Earlier, on April 18, Ingenuity Studios appointed Armen Kevorkian as president. Kevorkian, a 26-year veteran of the VFX industry, reports to Streamland Media CEO Bill Romeo and will lead Ingenuity Studios as it consolidates its global footprint to North America. This follows the rebranding of Formosa Interactive, a subsidiary focused on gaming, to Arrival on January 6, with Paul Lipson ascending to the presidency after nearly a decade at Formosa. The company announced the transformation on January 5, stating that Arrival would exclusively serve the gaming and interactive entertainment sectors.
