Eccho Rights is establishing a London hub, recruiting three U.K.-based senior executives for the team.<\/p>\n
Adam Barth will be Eccho Rights\u2019 new director of development and co-productions, working with U.K. producers and broadcasters to broaden the distributor\u2019s English-language slate. Barth will be tasked with finding new projects and creative talent for the company’s development roster, both for local and international co-production in collaboration with the company\u2019s other global offices in Stockholm, Madrid, Istanbul and Seoul. He joins from NENT Studios UK (formerly DRG), where he worked as commercial director.<\/p>\n
Lucy Roberts will take on the role of director of sales, handling the catalog in Western Europe. Roberts has been a senior sales manager at NENT Studios UK for the past two and a half years, having previously held roles at All3Media, Keshet International, BBC Studios and ITV Studios.<\/p>\n
Alexandra Aldred joins the team in an advisory role. Aldred spent the last eight years as the VP of sales for EMEA at Miramax. Aldred will work part-time as an advisor, co-ordinating Eccho\u2019s ongoing cooperation with Sony Pictures Television as well as the offering of Korean series from parent company CJ ENM.<\/p>\n
Fredrik af Malmborg, managing director of Eccho Rights, said: \u201cThe new London team will provide a very powerful contribution to our truly global company. While we pride ourselves on our work with developing markets and non-English-language drama, these high-caliber hires are an important step in establishing Eccho Rights as the go-to partner even in more traditional drama markets in Western Europe and the U.K.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
