Writer and veteran Executive Producer Janet Arlotta has joined the Emmy Award-winning design and branding studio Friends of Mine as Executive Producer.

In her new position with Friends of Mine, Arlotta will leverage her nationwide reach and give FOM a local presence in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta. Friends of Mine recently completed an around-the-world brand film for Otterbox, shot in five countries. Prior to joining the company, Arlotta had been the Executive Director of (n+1) design studio, after her long run as Owner and Executive Producer of FUEL.
In a climate where content is king, a recent crop of network divisions have been formed to create content, not only for their own traditional and digital platforms but for others in the digital space, Arlotta says. Brands are becoming powerhouse content developers for their own platforms too. I love what these new developments will mean for writers and creators.
The Evolution of Content Development panel at aTVfest will take place on Thursday, February 1, at 12:30 PM in the SCAD Atlanta building, Panel Room A. The session will tackle how new opportunities are currently opening the door for more opportunities for content creators. In addition to Arlotta, other panelists on the session include: Jeremy Lindenmier, Creative Director & Founder of Friends of Mine, Maureen Timpa, VP of Production at FX Networks, Ilyssa Goodman, Executive Producer of the A Cinderella Story franchise, Miguel Hernandez, Lead Creative for Otterbox, and Vernon Reid, Executive Producer of Tutta Productions.
