As the lead ITV commissioner, Maddigan led the reboot of <em>Love Island<\/em>, <em>X Factor<\/em> and <em>Big Star Little Star<\/em>. While serving as commissioning editor at Channel 4, she worked on the formats team looking after titles, including the original and recommission of <em>LEGO Masters<\/em>, <em>Celebs Go Dating<\/em>, <em>My Hotter Half<\/em> and <em>Five Star Hotel<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Renowned Films has also promoted Mark Raeburn to managing director as part of the company\u2019s new expansion plans. Raeburn\u2019s new remit will include a focus on Renowned Films&#8217; overall strategy and day-to-day operations, particularly in the U.K. Raeburn joined Renowned Films in March 2018 as the company\u2019s first chief operating officer.<\/p>\n<p>Renowned Co-Founders Duane Jones, Max Welch and Tim Withers said: \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work growing a production company. It takes a truly dedicated team and we believe we have the addition of two great talents in Kate and Mark. We\u2019re very excited for them to help us continue Renowned&#8217;s global ascendency in delivering top quality content to global audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maddigan said: \u201cI\u2019ve kept an eye on the team at Renowned since they launched the company and always admired their creativity and youthful outlook. In a market that&#8217;s so focused on the younger demo, I can&#8217;t wait to blend my experience with the Renowned team&#8217;s energy to form a force to be reckoned with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raeburn said: \u201cIt has been an amazing experience working for such a young, exciting, diverse, and dynamic company, with a talented group of creatives. Over the last 12 months, we\u2019ve become the 4th fastest growing production company in the U.K., won Edinburgh\u2019s Indie of the year, and produced more than 40 hours of content across both sides of the pond. I\u2019m incredibly excited to be working with Duane, Tim and Max in leading the company into its next phase of growth, including our innovative approach to deal-making, producing, and developing new and exciting content which will be distributed across all forms of media.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renowned Films has tapped Kate Maddigan, former Channel 4 and ITV Love Island commissioner, to serve as the company\u2019s new head of studios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":13979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[4619,2915,2525],"class_list":["post-13978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-kate-maddigan","tag-mark-raeburn","tag-renowned-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Renowned Films Appoints New Head of Studios - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/renowned-films-appoints-new-head-of-studios\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Renowned Films Appoints New Head of Studios - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Renowned Films has tapped Kate Maddigan, former Channel 4 and ITV Love Island commissioner, to serve as the company\u2019s new head of studios.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/renowned-films-appoints-new-head-of-studios\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-01-23T15:45:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-01-23T17:42:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Kate-Maddigan-Renowned-Films-0120.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/renowned-films-appoints-new-head-of-studios\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/renowned-films-appoints-new-head-of-studios\/\",\"name\":\"Renowned Films Appoints New Head of Studios - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-01-23T15:45:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-01-23T17:42:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/renowned-films-appoints-new-head-of-studios\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/renowned-films-appoints-new-head-of-studios\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/renowned-films-appoints-new-head-of-studios\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Renowned Films Appoints New Head of Studios\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
