Clint Kisker
Clint Kisker is an American media executive, entrepreneur, investor, advisor and Emmy Award winning producer.
He co-founded and served as President of MWM, a multimedia entertainment platform that partners with storytellers to bring groundbreaking, award-winning projects to audiences across all platforms, and was twice named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list (2017[1], 2019[2]).
As President of MWM, Kisker established and executed an innovative vision for the company which used specialized, cross-functional teams to simultaneously develop, produce and distribute content in partnership with top creators across multiple platforms including film, television, musical theater, podcasts, comics, merchandising, and interactive game publishing. Kisker also managed new business initiatives and strategic investments, including Wonderstorm[3], The Chernin Group (TCG 2.0), and Atom Tickets among others.
MWM unlocked value for creators by growing “content to commerce” businesses around their IP including building social media audiences and helping to creatively develop and deliver their stories directly to fans across comics, podcasts, online/offline merchandising, ticketed physical installations and live shows. These include “Voyage To The Stars” featuring Felicia Day, Jacque Aye’s “Adorned by Chi”, and Nevermore Park, home to iconic artist Hebru Brantley’s “Flyboy”.
Also during his tenure, MWM was nominated for 17 Emmy Awards, 6 Academy Awards, 6 Golden Globe Awards, and 14 Tony Awards - winning 3 Emmys (Ron Howard’s “Genius”, NatGeo, and animated fan-favorite “The Dragon Prince,” Netflix), a Grammy Award (Best Musical Theatre Album) and 8 Tony Awards including 2019’s Best Musical for “Hadestown[4]” from Anaïs Mitchell. Recent interactive titles include the PC/console game "Creature in the Well" (Flight School/PlayStation-Nintendo), and podcast legend Dan Carlin's immersive World War I VR installation "War Remains".
He was recognized by Variety as a “New Leader of Hollywood”[5], and has been a featured speaker at Fast Company's Innovation Festival[6], Columbia University Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.
