deadline.com:

David Levy, the former longtime president of Turner Networks, on Monday was been named co-CEO and equity partner in Horizon Sports & Experiences, a newly launched marketing agency under brand giant Horizon Media.

Levy, also the founder of Back Nine Ventures Llc, will team with former Momentum Worldwide chair and CEO Chris Weil on the new venture, a combination of Horizon’s Scout Sports and Entertainment division that will guide clients engaging in sports and experiential marketing.

Michael Neuman, head of Scout, will become EVP of HS&E, reporting to Levy and Weil. Horizon says Horizon Sports & Experiences will include a core focus on IP creation and monetization; strategic advisory and consulting; media rights; sponsorship; sales; and experiential strategy and activation.

Horizon Media’s metaverse consultancy Chapter & Verse will also be merged into HS&E’s offerings. Levy exited Turner in March 2019 after a nearly 33-year run following the then-merger of WarnerMedia and AT&T; he joined Turner in 1986 as an account executive.
