Nickelodeon has upped Ron Hines to SVP of creative development and global experience design.
A 22-year veteran at the kidcaster, Hines started out as a designer/art director, migrated into a senior studio director position at Nickelodeon Recreation, and then was named VP of creative development for Nickelodeon experience design in 2016.
In his new role, Hines will lead a team of designers and art directors working with partners to develop, produce and implement Nickelodeon-licensed theme parks, water parks, resorts, cruises, live entertainment productions, exhibits and corporate events. He’ll also continue to lead two new Nickelodeon Universe projects currently in development for the American Dream Mall in New Jersey (slated to open in 2019) and the Mall of China in Chongqing (scheduled to open in 2020).
