“Mercedes is one of those rare executives who sees the whole picture,” says Jannie McInnes. “She’s an exceptional producer who also understands where the business is going. As our roster and ambitions grow across diverse and emerging forms of storytelling, Mercedes adds firepower to what’s next for Scheme.”
“What drew me to Scheme is this incredible body of work spanning a range of creative formats,” says Mercedes Allen-Sarria. “As the industry moves away from traditional production silos, the challenge isn’t predicting the next model, but having the flexibility to follow great creative wherever it wants to go. Scheme is already built for that, and that’s exactly why I was so excited to come here and build on it together.”
