LONDON, UK – 4 March 2019: IBC is delighted to announce that Brave Bison CEO, Claire Hungate, has accepted the role of guest chair of the IBC2019 Content Steering Group (CSG), a collection of industry experts and thought leaders including BBC Studios, Google, Endemol Shine Group and Discovery, who will set the agenda for the September event and provide industry insight for year-round online platform IBC365.
Claire is an outstanding business innovator, who during her eighteen years of industry experience has consistently stayed ahead of the curve. Her hugely successful broadcast career includes being managing director of UK production company Wall to Wall, and part of the team that sold the company to AIM listed production Group Shed Media PLC in 2007.
Claire was fundamental in de-listing Shed from AIM by virtue of an MBO backed by Warner Bros. At the time of Warner Bros taking full ownership of Shed in 2014, she became CEO of the newly created entity, Warner Bros TV Production UK. Now, as CEO of Brave Bison, Claire is driving her vision to evolve the firm from a social agency to an end-to-end strategy, production and distribution business that creates “content with purpose”. The new relationships she is developing, includes a collaboration with Chinese conglomerate Tencent, providing content to the company, via six channels across multiple genres, giving Brave Bison access to over 1.5 billion Chinese viewers.
