“We’re all genuinely excited about Kate joining our team. She brings a wealth of communications expertise to Acamar Films but more than that she has a real appreciation of 'Bing', his world and the impact of the series on viewers,” said Mikael Shields. “Kate will play a leadership role in Acamar’s communications strategy, introducing 'Bing' to audiences as we forge new partnerships, launch across platforms and bring the series to new international territories.”

“Children’s entertainment has always held my heart and I am honoured to be given the opportunity to work on 'Bing', a series that has meant so much to my own family. I have seen first-hand the way that Bing provides a framework for young children to understand their world and it is brilliant to be part of the Acamar team as Bing continues to grow and find new fans," said Kate Dickson.
