Gravity Media has appointed Poppy Ross as business development manager for EMEA.

Ross is responsible for developing new partnerships and delivering strategic plans to support business growth across 2023. She has already worked on delivering Goodwood Revival, which was Gravity’s final Goodwood event of the year. You can learn more about the production in Broadcast Sport’s behind-the-scenes article here. 

Ross arrives at Gravity from Drive To Survive producer Box To Box Films, where she was a line producer and oversaw the development of several high-profile premium feature documentaries which streamed on Apple+, Showtime and Netflix.

Before that, she was a senior production manager at Red Bull Media House based in Salzburg, Austria for just over two years. Ross was responsible for managing all projects on the Red Bull Bike and Board Sports Networks, and worked across a full slate of commissioned projects with a significant number of projects running simultaneously and alongside multiple production partners for both live and non-live programmes.

Ross also has experience with the likes of Discovery Networks International, the England & Wales Cricket Board, ESPN, and UEFA. 

Ross said: “I am thrilled to be joining the Gravity Business Development team. It is a really exciting time for the company with huge deals in the future and working with some of the best names in the business. Being able to offer end-to-end production with cutting-edge resources is a wonderful advantage to anyone working with us. After many years in Production Management, I am looking forward to bringing my previous experience to the challenges and getting to know all the clients, existing and new!”

Blair Wood, Gravity Media director of business development, added: “It is always very rewarding to bring someone of Poppy’s calibre and experience into the business. As Gravity Media continues to grow and take on exciting new projects, we have looked to build a Business Development team who can maintain that momentum. Poppy certainly fits the bill, bringing fresh perspectives and ideas from an impressive career working with some of the biggest brands in the broadcast industry. It is great to see many of our production clients already benefiting from her arrival and I look forward to the part Poppy will play in Gravity Media’s ongoing evolution.”
