Former MySpace exec joins YouTube content maker
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 1 November 2011
Courtney Holt, the one time major label and MTV exec perhaps best know for his stint as President of MySpace Music, has joined a California-based media company called Maker Studios, which specialises in making programming for YouTube consumption. Holt will become COO of the company and will oversee its growth and development.
Holt joins the company as it strikes up a more direct partnership with YouTube, it being one of the outfits to benefit from the Google-owned video site’s new investment in original content. Maker is set to run three new channels as part of YouTube’s new content initiative, including a music-focused service to be called the Maker Music Network.
