WildBrain is a kids’ and family entertainment company. It creates, acquires, and manages animated and live-action brands, then sells that content to TV networks, streaming services, and digital platforms. Its library includes well-known children’s properties, and it also helps turn those characters into shows, clips, and other media that keep audiences coming back.

The company makes money in several ways. It earns fees from producing and distributing content, royalties from licensing its characters for toys, books, apparel, and other consumer products, and advertising revenue from digital channels that show its programming. That mix means WildBrain sits both on the content side and the brand-management side of the kids’ entertainment business.

What makes WildBrain different is that it does more than just make shows. It tries to build long-lived children’s brands and monetize them across the full chain, from screen content to licensing and digital distribution. Its main customers are broadcasters, streaming platforms, advertisers, and consumer brands that want to use familiar kids’ characters.
