Zig Zag promotes Graff to managing director

Zig Zag Productions has promoted commercial director Matt Graff to the newly created role of managing director.

In his new role Graff will take on responsibility for managing the day-to-day operation of the company and driving company growth. He will continue to report to CEO Danny Fenton.

Since his appointment as commercial director in 2014, Graff has been responsible for the company’s commercial opportunities and off-air rights exploitation.

Graff has been responsible for some key recent deals for Zig Zag including the development of the co-production agreement with Krempelwood Entertainment to produce the forthcoming Jamie Vardy documentary series for Sky Sports and negotiation of the sale of 6x60mins series ‘British Treasure, American Gold’ for Quest / RMC Découverte, for which he was also executive producer.

Graff said: “It’s a great honour to have been given the opportunity to help steer the Zig Zag ship into the future and realise the vision outlined by Danny and the board. I’m looking forward to being part of Zig Zag’s future growth and success.”
