New look NBDtv announces key appointments

A new look, a new catalogue, a new website and a new sales structure kick starts the new sales year for the international television distribution company NBDtv.
Following last years acquisition of NBDtv by DCD Media, the company has made a number of key appointments to exploit the diverse catalogue of programming it now distributes. Danielle Davies, formerly Sales Manager at 3DD, heads the newly created Southern & Eastern Hemisphere sales department. She will focus on sales to the Middle East, Far East, Latin America, Canada and Australasia. Rick Barker, formerly Head of Television Sales at Digital Classics Distribution, moves to the newly created position of Head of Sales Continental Europe.
Other appointments include Lauren Marriott, who reports to Barker as sales executive; Marriott previously spent two years at Zone Vision’s distribution arm selling to Eastern Europe. Katie Young, previously a producer for Eardrum, a company specialising in radio and TV commercials, becomes Technical Manager.
The combined NBDtv and Digital Classics portfolio is now one of the largest music television catalogues. With the additional programming supplied by DCD Media’s wholly owned production companies, Done & Dusted, Box TV and Iambic Productions, NBDtv is able to offer to its broadcasters the very best in drama, family, children's, documentary and entertainment programmes.
NBDtv Chief Executive Nicky Davies Williams commented: “The combined complementary catalogues of NBDtv and Digital Classics have given us a wide range of programming that has huge international appeal. I am very pleased to have appointed two senior sales experts who each have a wealth of experience across all programming genres. As NBDtv broadens its acquisitions portfolio, their depth of knowledge will become even more important to us."
