Banijay Group’s IWC has appointed Mark Downie, a seasoned executive producer and development exec, as the company’s creative director.<\/p>\n
Downie will work out of Glasgow under Peter Langenberg, IWC’s group COO and interim managing director. He will be charged with overseeing the company’s creative output to expand its existing specialist factual slate.<\/p>\n
Most recently, Downie served as executive producer for ITV’s Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine<\/em>, and development executive at Label1 and 7Wonder. Earlier in his career, he was chief creative officer at Maverick Television from 2013 to 2016. He has also worked for the BBC and Channel 4.<\/p>\n Langenberg commented: \u201cIt is fantastic to be welcoming Mark to join IWC. With a proven track record in both production and commissioning, there is no doubt he has the creative expertise to build IWC\u2019s slate of returning brands to position the business for a successful future.\u201d<\/p>\n Downie added: \u201cI\u2019ve long admired the range and richness of IWC\u2019s output. It\u2019s great to be heading home to Glasgow at what feels like a time of real opportunity for content creators in Scotland, and I\u2019m thrilled to be leading the next phase of this formidable company\u2019s development and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Banijay Group’s IWC has appointed Mark Downie, a seasoned executive producer and development exec, as the company’s creative director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":11403,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[698,2942,3056],"class_list":["post-11402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-banijay-group","tag-iwc","tag-mark-downie","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
