Turner International has promoted Mark Eyers to senior vice president of its Asia Pacific division from his previous role as chief content officer responsible for the broadcaster’s children’s channels.


Based in Hong Kong, Eyers will focus on strengthening the planning process for the Turner Kids channels Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Toonami and POGO, as well as fresh animation talent.

Eyers’ new remit also includes identifying opportunities to develop and distribute hit properties and franchises across Turner’s TV, Web and mobile platforms, and spearheading new channel development across the region.

“Under Mark’s leadership, Turner’s Kids brands has not only dominated the genre but also expanded tremendously across the region. He has spearheaded the growth of our Kids brands across multi-platform while also leading numerous international original animation productions, including the award-winning Monster Beach and recent series Exchange Student Zero,” said Ricky Ow, president, Turner International Asia Pacific.

“His promotion is a timely acknowledgement of his contribution to the importance of the Kids brands to Turner’s business in this region and the confidence we have in him to further build upon it.”

Eyers joined Turner International Asia Pacific’s creative services team in 2004.
