Antenna Pictures Appoints New Creative Director

Antenna Pictures, a U.K.-based Blue Ant Media production company, has tapped Jonathan Levi to serve as its new creative director.

In his role at Antenna Pictures, Levi will be responsible for building a new development and production slate. Working closely with Antenna Pictures’ managing director, Jago Lee, Levi will look to broaden the company’s offering to include more entertainment and factual entertainment programming.

Levi joins Antenna Pictures from Renegade, Warner Bros.’ factual-entertainment label. He previously served in various executive roles at ITV Studios. His credits include ITV’s Transformation Street and Broadmoor, ITV2’s Evil Monkeys and the CBBC documentary series School of Rock.

“Since our launch in 2016, Antenna has built a reputation as an internationally-facing company, working with new platforms and younger-skewing channels,” said Lee. “We want to build a presence in the U.K. market where smart storytelling and thoughtful formats are in vogue in a big way. Jonathan’s mischievous, journalistic sensibility and past success launching new shows makes him the perfect creative to lead this charge.”

Levi added: “It feels like a great time to join Blue Ant Media’s rapidly expanding production group. I look forward to working with Jago and the team to produce enduring shows with both heart and purpose.”
