He will collaborate with the company&#8217;s production team to develop new creative show concepts and present them to global broadcasters.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Jacobs served as CEO of Street League Skateboarding. Earlier in his career, he was head of monetization at Red Bull Media House, North America. He also founded and ran his own TV and commercial production company, Magellan Media, which he later sold to Post Modern Creative.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Clarke, Nitro Circus\u2019s chief commercial officer, said: \u201cGreg brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this new, and very important, position. Since our first DVD debuted nearly 15 years ago, Nitro Circus has captured some of the most exciting, outrageous and unforgettable moments in action sports and we are only just getting started. Now with Greg\u2019s leadership and relationships we look to find new opportunities, grow our brand and introduce new fans to Nitro Circus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacobs added: \u201cNitro Circus is one of the world\u2019s leading, emerging media companies. My vision is to help secure the status of Nitro Circus as the preeminent platform in action sports and to continue to develop its ever-growing footprint across mainstream entertainment media. We will achieve this through a global distribution and partnership imprint. I have been blown away by the depth of the Nitro Circus library, the breadth and quality of the team\u2019s original programming concepts and the sheer size of the opportunity. I am so excited to get things underway and to join this talented team of executives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES: Action sports entertainment company Nitro Circus has named seasoned TV exec Greg Jacobs as its global head of media distribution, a newly created position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":7671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1167,1168],"class_list":["post-7670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-greg-jacobs","tag-nitro-circus"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
