Boat Rocker Hires Brad Horvath From BBC Studios For U.S. & Lat Am Sales

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Toronto’s Boat Rocker has hired BBC Studios (BBCS) exec Brad Horvath to lead its sales biz in the U.S.

and Latin America. Horvath will be Vice President of Content Sales for Boat Rocker Studios, selling scripted and feature docs out of the Canadian company’s L.A.

office, while feeding into the company’s wider sales strategy. Effective immediately, he will report into Boat Rocker Studios’ President of Global Rights, Franchise and Content Strategy. “As a well-respected executive, with deep industry relationships and strong knowledge of the current marketplace, Brad will be an invaluable resource as we continue growing our global distribution business,” said Rutherford.

Horvath’s move won’t mean relocation as he was based at the BBC’s L.A. office, selling content and overseeing partnerships with networks and streaming platforms.
