Elf Labs launched with a one-of-a-kind IP portfolio of over 400 copyrights and over 100 trademarks for classic and reimagined renditions of characters like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Peter Pan to transform immersive entertainment.

Her hire follows on the heels of Elf Labs' April launch-to-market and precedes the upcoming launch of its first full animated series, RoboStars™, which depicts a new type of hero transforming favorite faces like Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Pinocchio into robot protagonists. Rosenberg will oversee the entire Content Division and work hand in hand with Mike De Seve, Head of Kids Content at Elf Labs and an Emmy Award-winning Dreamworks alumnus with credits including Shrek 2 and Shark Tale. The two will work in close concert with Elf Labs' writing and production teams to finalize the first full season of RoboStars™ and expand the studio's award-winning franchise Once Upon a Zombie.

David Phillips, CEO, said, "With our iconic IP and transformative technology, Elf Labs is the future of animated entertainment media. We need leaders who have shaped the industry, but share our vision as to what is possible in this new era. Alyse brings decades of industry-transforming experience and robust creative insight to our team. We are thrilled to welcome her as we look ahead to our first major series launch, RoboStars™, and continue our project pipeline to shape the future of modern, meaningful media."

Rosenberg's versatility can be seen in her extensive credits across children, youth, adult, and non-fiction as a veteran writer and producer. Her storied career in TV and film includes credits for Virtual Mom (CBC/Nickelodeon), Harriet the Spy (Protocol Entertainment/Discovery), Lives that Changed the World (Discovery Channel), Forensic Factor (Discovery Channel), Four in the Morning (CBC), Frankie Drake Mysteries (CBC) and Majority Rules (CBC).

Other titles include Vice President of Development for the Toronto-based, award-winning television and feature film studios Serendipity Point Films and Story Hawk Pictures/Boat Rocker Media.

As the newest Elf Labs team member, Rosenberg will support the company's go-to-market strategy, including exclusive web series content, animated feature films, and Wi-Fi-enabled immersive experiences. Her expertise in children's narratives will shape the company's wholesome message-driven content as she lends her creative vision and executive oversight to the studio's project slate.
