David Levine, a veteran of Disney and Moonbug Entertainment who is now working on a diverse range of projects at Lightboat Media, discusses navigating the kids’ ecosystem in the newest episode of our Gen A to Z strand.

Levine spent almost a decade at Disney before moving to Moonbug Entertainment, where he served as chief content officer. He subsequently set up Lightboat Media, where he advises a diverse range of IP owners on driving digital engagement, scaling brands, and embracing diversity.
