BossaNova Hires Marketing, Rights & Acquisitions Executives, Unveils Distribution Deals | News

BossaNova Media, a London-based content creation, financing and distribution company, has added three new directors to its team.

Alex Pye has been appointed to the newly created role of marketing manager.

She joins us from Warner Bros Discovery where she served as Marketing Director, International Licensing, developing and executing marketing campaigns across multiple territories.

Pye’s CV also includes a five-year stint as head of marketing at WestEnd Films.

Meanwhile, Kristina Giulalieva has been appointed Contract Rights Coordinator, reporting to Commercial and Business Director Claire Lowe.

Giulieva began her career as an actress but soon moved behind the camera and became a production assistant at London agency WendyVision, which specialises in music videos, commercials and short films.

Finally, Sarah Postlethwaite takes on the role of Director of Acquisitions, supporting Head of Acquisitions Claire Runham.

She previously held marketing positions at Entertainment One and AMC Networks.

Postlethwaite will split his time between his new roles at Bossanova and the content team at Eccho Rights, both of which are owned by Munich-based Night Train Media.

Paul Heaney, Founder and CEO of BossaNova, said: “In the current business climate, we are very careful to only hire people who see a need and benefit for all stakeholders.

“Alex, Kristina and Sarah strengthen what was already an incredibly talented, successful and dynamic team.

“For a company like BossaNova, which is built on trust and relationships, investing in promising associates is as important as investing in great programs. We want them to truly enjoy their roles and grow.”

In other company news, Bossanova also recently signed several distribution deals.

A renewal package has been agreed with Sky which will see the pay-TV broadcaster take over the documentary series Border Patrol (episodes 9 to 12), Highway Patrol (episodes 8, 9 and 15) and Caught on Dashcam (episode 1).
