53 Degrees Global Names Managing Director

Alex Coffey has been promoted to the role of managing director at 53 Degrees Global.

“Alex has been an integral part of 53 Degrees Global since its inception and has played a big role in overseeing its growth since then,” said Nick Bullen, CEO. “As we continue to expand the group, especially into a wide range of revenue streams across digital, television, live events and corporate clients, he will be tasked with ramping up our business strategy to identify and take advantage of new opportunities in the changing media landscape.”

Coffey will work closely with Bullen to oversee 53 Degrees Global’s strategy of diversifying its revenue streams in online content creation, branded and corporate programming, live event production in the U.K. and globally, as well as its television content labels.

Coffey has assisted 53 Degrees Global in pivoting to online content, managing social media channels for individuals and brands, together with podcasts, with the creation of new label Joy Peddlers. The label produces equestrian podcast Talk Horse, hosted by Olympic eventer Pippa Funnell and Made in Chelsea‘s Tristan Phipps.

“I have really enjoyed building this thriving group of companies, led by fantastically creative teams, and I’m now looking forward to working with them all to take 53 Degrees Global’s business into its next phase of growth across the U.K. and globally,” said Coffey.
