Joining a very impressive and diverse international Board of Global Influencers, Andy Singer will provide a strong connection with the industry’s FAST platforms and channels, bringing a new avenue of expertise to The Kitchen.
New York based, Andy Singer is a veteran content strategist and media consultant with a track record of shaping standout programming across linear and digital platforms. Andy was formerly the Head of Content at Samsung TV Plus, where he led programming for dozens of O&O FAST channels in the U.S. and Canada, and launched the popular Conan O’Brien TV channel.
With previous senior leadership roles at content studio Alkemy X, Travel Channel, DIY Network, and HGTV, Andy now runs Andy Singer Media, a boutique operation specifically geared toward helping FAST channels, CTV platforms, and producers with content strategy, licensing, brand building, and production models.
“With plentiful AVOD libraries and well-known IP-laden channels, audiences are seeking FAST platforms as cost-effective alternatives to paid subscription broadcast television. With more than 1600 FAST channels available globally, this 10 billion-dollar business is a growing trend. While FAST Channels are advertising supported, they are free to watch and accessible via smart TV’s, specific apps or streaming platforms. That’s why I am so excited about sharing my understanding of the FAST Channel world with the global reach and expertise that The Kitchen has to offer.”
Andy’s well-round industry background, beginning at the age of sixteen, includes production stints at NBCU, Fox, and VH1 as well.
“From a business standpoint, we know that the knowledge of the burgeoning world of FAST platforms and channels that Andy will bring to The Kitchen and to our clients, is an expertise that was missing,” Deeny Kaplan added. “Andy’s commitment and enthusiasm, and his keen understanding of the new format will undoubtedly merge what is required for the world of FAST Channels, with the strength in language services that The Kitchen has provided for over 24-years.”
The Kitchen is the industry’s only Emmy Award Winning language services studio, working to and from all languages, for all formats and genres of programming.
