The company, known for its animated show Toby’s Travelling Circus, says it wants to develop local IP for TV and film production in the Asia Pacific market.

Amanda Morrison, founder of RKPIX and a leading figure in the Asia Pacific TV and entertainment industry, has been hired to manage the office in Perth.

Morrison has more than 20 years’ experience in the business, including advisory roles for the Australian government agencies Screenwest and Screen NSW.

She also previously founded Transmedia for Change, an indie doc and children’s prodco that develops, finances and produces transmedia production.

Komixx said in a statement it had identified growing demand for content in the region thanks to increasing competition between local SVoD services.

Andrew Cole-Bulgin, joint CEO and head of film and TV at Komixx Media Group, said: “The Australian office serves as a natural progression to our global content strategy and we’re thrilled to be making our mark in the region.

“Our growth here is a response to the demand for new and exciting content in Asia and Amanda is the perfect person to lead this charge. Her unique international perspective within both the traditional and new media content production markets, ensures we’ll have some exciting content emerging from the Perth office very soon.”
