ARTiSTORY is expanding with the opening of a U.S. office. Based on the East coast, the office will serve ARTiSTORY’s newest IP clients in the North American market. At the same time, the Singapore office officially welcomes a new force to lead the development of Southeast Asia and Oceania markets. 

The addition of the U.S. and Singapore operation grows ARTiSTORY’s global presence, which now covers markets across Asia and Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as America.

In conjunction with the expansion, Anna Stein joins ARTiSTORY as country manager and business development director for North America. Stein has a background in art history and previously worked in global licensing for more than 15 years. She has worked for major studios such as Nickelodeon and Twentieth Century Fox, as well as on the manufacturing and agency sides of licensing.  

“I am really impressed by the licensing model that ARTiSTORY has created and excited to work with new partners with this innovative company,” says Stein.

With Alicia Chen joining the Singapore office as country manager and business development director, where she will work closely with the U.K. and U.S. offices to develop Southeast Asia and Oceania markets.
