ITN Productions has made a series of promotions to accelerate its international and digital growth, with a focus on the U.S. and new markets.<\/p>\n
Caroline Short has been promoted to the newly created role of head of global TV, and Georgina Mantle has been upped to global creative director. Mantle will play a key role in shaping company strategy, supporting the digital division and opening up new worldwide markets for the company.<\/p>\n
Short\u2019s new role reflects ITN Productions\u2019 ambition to build a worldwide content powerhouse and recognizes that its current development projects are rooted in the U.K. Short will streamline decision-making, align teams across factual in the U.K. and internationally and sharpen the company\u2019s offer to both domestic broadcasters and international platforms. She will continue to run the company\u2019s base in Leeds.<\/p>\n
Chris Broughall, deputy head of international, will continue to drive the international team day to day. Jeremy Daldry remains deputy head of U.K. factual.<\/p>\n
ITN Productions has also bolstered its development leadership, promoting Gorana Jelovina to deputy head of development, working closely with Dan Gilmore, head of development. John Keyes takes on sole responsibility for secondary sales and distribution.<\/p>\n
\u201cCaroline and Georgina are forces of nature,\u201d said Ian Rumsey, managing director of content at ITN. \u201cWe\u2019re fortunate to have them, and I\u2019m delighted to give their amazing talents even greater scope and scale as we push into new markets and expand our global slate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBringing U.K.\u2011rooted, globally resonant stories together under one roof makes perfect sense for our partners, allowing us to move faster and pitch at scale,\u201d Short noted.<\/p>\n
Mantle commented, \u201cOur creative pipeline spans premium factual, returning series and digital formats designed for worldwide audiences. I\u2019m excited to help shape strategy and open new doors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
