PIXIE FOUNDER

Jonas Barnes is the founder and CEO of Pixie USA, a Georgia-based studio pioneering the future of mobile storytelling through brand-friendly micro-dramas.

With more than 20 years of experience working at the intersection of Hollywood production and digital marketing, Jonas has held roles at major studios including Sony Pictures, Paramount, Netflix and Amazon.

After beginning his career in physical production and advancing to work at Original Film under legendary producer Neal Moritz, Jonas shifted his focus during the streaming era to create content and strategies that drive viral growth and brand engagement.

Today, under Jonas’s leadership, Pixie USA develops, produces and distributes serialized short-form dramas made for mobile and social platforms — integrating brand partners, building proprietary apps, and delivering entertainment that doesn’t feel like advertising.

Based in Georgia, Jonas is committed to expanding the next generation of storytellers and platforms through Pixie’s growing production and education wings.
