Global Agency has appointed veteran broadcast executive Farrell E. Meisel to the newly-created role of Director of Development. Meisel will work for both Global Agency, and its finished programme arm World Wide Entertainment, where he will focus on developing long-term partnerships and identifying new areas of growth for the two divisions.

Meisel has extensive executive management and content development experience at a number of major organisations including Turner Broadcasting, HBO International, Viacom International and Singapore’s MediaCorp. Most recently, he has been building broadcast infrastructures in emerging markets such as Poland, Afghanistan and Nigeria.

“It’s a real coup for us to have signed Farrell up. He’s got unrivalled experience of the international television landscape, and will be a huge asset both for Global Agency and World Wide Entertainment,” said CEO of Global Agency, Izzet Pinto.
