Zodiak Sets Up Americas Division

LOS ANGELES: Zodiak Media is bringing together its existing businesses in North, Central and South America under one unit, Zodiak Americas.

The move is part of Zodiak’s long-term strategy to increase its focus on the American continents. Jonny Slow, formerly Zodiak Media’s COO, will head up the new division as CEO of Zodiak Americas. Slow will relocate from London to Los Angeles to take on the new role.

David Frank, the chief executive of Zodiak Media, said: “This move is a demonstration of the importance of these geographic markets to us and the pace with which we want to both broaden our activities in TV production and develop our international distribution and online media activities here.”

Slow added: “By supporting the existing CEOs, expanding into new regions and pursuing new commercial ventures, we’re reinforcing our first and foremost goal—to marry the best of the Zodiak catalogue with the greatest talent in the biggest and fastest growing television market in the world.”
