Head of Content, Princess Pictures
Princess Pictures spent 2 years searching unsuccessfully for a Head of Content that could operated with global market fluency
Overview
Princess Pictures, a long-established Australian television and film production company with partnerships across the US and animation studios in Ireland and the United Kingdom, needed a Head of Content to manage and grow its slate.
The Challenge
After two years searching independently, despite deep industry knowledge and global contacts, Princess Pictures had been unable to fill the role. The position itself needed to be redefined, and the ideal candidate had to combine local and international market credibility with a strong cultural fit for the company.
As an outward-facing, globally minded business, the company required a leader who could operate with the same international confidence and market fluency across both domestic and overseas deals.
Our Approach
EP Australia began by redefining the title and job description to reflect what the role actually required. From there, Patricia ran a search spanning both local and international talent pools, surfacing candidates the company either didn't know were available or didn't know at all.
Criteria for Success
Success depended on finding a candidate with genuine understanding of both the Australian and international markets, the right professional profile for the role, and true alignment with Princess Pictures' culture, with all of these elements brought together into one credible appointment.
Outcomes
Within a matter of weeks, EP Australia identified and secured a candidate, with Patricia negotiating the offer swiftly and in a way that left both parties satisfied. The relationship has continued beyond the initial placement: Princess Pictures has since engaged Patricia again to lead negotiations for a further hire, citing her ability to close arrangements quickly and positively for everyone involved.

A word from Laura Waters, Founder & CEO
Princess Pictures
"Within a couple of weeks, Patricia not only redefined the title and job description for the role, but also found numerous candidates both locally and internationally who we didn't know were available or didn't know at all. She was also incredibly adept at negotiating between us and the person we chose, closing the deal very quickly and in a way that felt good to everyone involved. I could not recommend anyone more highly."
