Spanning product and licensing, sales, marketing, theatrical, production and design, IT, admin and finance our employees are specialists in their fields who, when not licensing, producing, marketing and selling our content, are holding art exhibitions, planting trees to offset our carbon emissions, demonstrating their athletic prowess at company boot camps and yoga sessions or perhaps enjoying a relaxing massage at the hands of Madman's in-house masseuse!

Product & Licensing Team

They came, they saw, they licensed! Our ten strong product & licensing team are the custodians of our brands. Each is a passionate specialist in their field, whether its anime, arthouse film, horror or kids to name but a handful of our areas of expertise.
