Sophia Scorziello editor Velvet Hammer Media, the non-scripted production company founded by Jennifer O’Connell and Rebecca Quinn, has received a minority investment from global sports and entertainment company Endeavor. Previously known as William Morris Endeavor, Endeavor represents athletes from sports organizations like the NHL and NFL and currently owns UFC and PBR (Professional Bull Riders). VHM just recently secured series such as “The Big Bakeover” and Roku’s “Empty Nest Refresh” along with other unannounced development deals with Netflix, NBCU and other platforms. Together, O’Connell and Quinn serve as EPs on all VHM projects. The pair founded VHM earlier this year after departing their roles at Max (formerly HBO Max).
