Cohen joined the firm at the beginning of October since when he has been using Noah’s audience analytic technology, SlateIQ, to help with development team’s decision-making, packaging and identifying ideal partners in the UK and internationally.

He arrived from KEO Films, where he spent a year as a development executive, following a five-year stint at Fulwell 73, latterly as senior development producer.

While at Fulwell 73, Cohen led a development team dedicated to music and sport documentaries, selling two features to Sky – Supergreed and Who Killed The KLF? – as well as two unscripted series to Netflix – Captains and The World Cup – and the recently released Mud, Sweat and Tears to Prime Video.

During his tenure at the company, he also developed Jack Whitehall’s Training Days for YouTube Originals and Amongst The Stars for Disney+.

Noah Media Group is currently in production with five feature documentaries through its Content Fund, which are all set to be released in 2024, including a feature length documentary on track & field icon and nine-time Olympic gold medallist, Carl Lewis, executive produced by LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s Uninterrupted.

John McKenna, CEO at Noah Media Group, said: “Adam’s appointment as head of development signals an exciting new chapter for us as a company. His impressive achievements, creative acumen, and commitment to excellence make him an invaluable addition to the Noah Media team at a very exciting time for the company.”
