Little Dot names US co-managing directors

All3Media-owned Little Dot Studios has named co-managing directors for its US operations and a series of promotions in the UK.

Ben Arnold, previously senior vice-president of commercial operations, and Charles Wideska, formerly senior vice-president and head of finance and commercial planning, will take charge for the Stateside division of Little Dot, overseeing strategy, commercial growth and team development.

The duo will also work with the wider global leadership team to support the global growth of Little Dot, which employs more than 500 people with over 600 clients. 

The social media agency, digital media network and multi-platform production company has also rejigged its UK team, with director Monica Giurgiu now promoted to director of strategic operations.

Katie Matthews is now director of client services, Fleur Fekkes is head of creative production, Sarah Chinnery becomes head of advertising partnerships, and Alice Hyde has been promoted to deputy general counsel.

Dan Jones, chief exec of Little Dot Studios (and acting managing director of the US office), said the promotions “reflect both the growth of our business and the strength of the people who have helped build it.”

He added: “Ben and Charles have been instrumental in driving the success of our US operation, and their appointments as co-managing directors set us up brilliantly for the next phase of expansion, particularly as 2025 was a standout year for the team.

“At the same time, our UK promotions recognise exceptional leaders whose work underpins our global offering from operations and client services through to creative, commercial partnerships, legal and business affairs. Promoting from within remains core to how we grow Little Dot Studios.”

Little Dot Studios Germany also recently rejigged its team, with Marco Wagner promoted to head of distribution & content strategy, and Thomas Konnerth upped to head of network, Germany.
