Global Agency’s Head of Acquisitions, Andrew Sime, will leave the company at the end of September 2013 to pursue other opportunities. Based in Amsterdam, Sime has been with Global Agency since 2009, when he joined from Sony Pictures Television. Prior to that, he worked at Endemol International.
Global Agency’s international acquisitions will now be handled by Acquisitions Manager Umay Ayaz.
Global Agency is the world’s fastest-growing distributor, and possesses one of the industry’s most diverse catalogues of light-entertainment formats.With content for all parts of the schedule, the company represents shows from major territories including the USA, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands and Brazil.
Founded by Izzet Pinto in 2006, Global Agency is also at the forefront of the ongoing trend for Turkish drama serials throughout Central and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
Speaking of his time at Global Agency, Sime said: “When I joined the company four years ago, it had one main format, and one main drama series. Since then, Global Agency has become one of the biggest sellers of Turkish dramas, and is home to a fantastic array of proven formats from around the world. We’ve taken the catalogue to the next level, and with Izzet’s hunger for growth, I’m sure the company will go from strength to strength”.
