AGC Studios Launches Digital Division Focused On Creator-Led IP

AGC Studios is launching AGC Digital, a dedicated division focused on creator-led content.

The studio said the division will partner with digital creators to turn their ideas, content, and audiences into entertainment franchises.

Jared Jacobs will lead the division as SVP, AGC Digital. He will report to Joel Zimmer, President, AGC. The studio said Jacobs will be responsible for “identifying, developing, financing, and commercializing intellectual property from the digital ecosystem.”

Jacobs previously worked with Warner Bros. Unscripted Television on digital strategy, development, creator partnerships, and new IP. He also served as VP of Development at Night Studios, where he helped lead the company’s creator-led entertainment slate and developed projects with some of the world’s biggest digital talent, including MrBeast, Kai Cenat, Ryan Trahan, Sam & Colby, Moriah Elizabeth, and Zach King. Before that, Jacobs held roles at Blumhouse Television, Mark Wahlberg’s Unrealistic Ideas, Endeavor Content (now FIFTH SEASON), and WME.

“So many of the most exciting storytellers of this generation are building huge audiences on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, but, for all but a very small number, the path into mainstream feature film and premium TV remains elusive,” Ford said in a statement.

“AGC Digital changes that. We’re giving creators what they’ve never had: a genuine independent studio partner, with the financing, production muscle, and global distribution reach to take their voices into feature films, scripted series, and unscripted formats without losing what made their audiences love them or control of their own IP. The creator economy is the talent pipeline of the future, and AGC Digital intends to be its home.”
