Evan Baily is a TV/film producer, showrunner, and entrepreneur focused on developing unforgettable worlds and characters, telling great stories, and building world-class franchises. 

His development and production credits include SONIC BOOM, starring the world's most famous (and his favorite) hedgehog, the breakthrough independent feature FRANK & ZED, the iconic, BAFTA-winning series LAZYTOWN, and a bunch of weird, fun projects with Nintendo. His current slate includes a mix of animation and live action projects for kid, teen, adult, and four-quadrant audiences, with clients and partners including Crayola, Encantos, Retail Monster, Jane McGregor Inc., and Pipeline Studios. He also consults for entertainment, media, consumer products, and tech companies on brand identity, content strategy, and other issues. 

Before he became a sleep-deprived indie producer, Evan was EVP of Production and Development at Classic Media, where he played a key role in growing the company's valuation from $150 million to $320 million in 3.5 years, and held various creative and creative leadership positions at Nickelodeon, including TV writer, development exec, and a digital innovation role with a title so ridiculously long that they had to use a noticeably smaller font to fit it onto his business card.
