Pivotal Media

Pivotal Media produces highly regarded, audience-winning programming for major television networks in Canada and the United States. Pivotal’s principals, Andrea Gabourie and Simon Watts, have collectively produced over 500 hours of internationally distributed, award-winning programming spanning the factual, documentary, and kids programming genres. We also have solid experience in adapting international formats for the domestic marketplace, as well as creating original formats for foreign distribution. At Pivotal, we believe that producing excellent programing is one key component of the producer and broadcaster relationship. We are also creative dealmakers who understand how to leverage the intricate funding opportunities that are essential for success in today’s production landscape. We have experience with both domestic and international co-production models and are adept at balancing the varied needs and priorities found in complex, multi-layered partnerships. Our unique background combines more than twenty years of independent production experience with crucial insights obtained from working “on the inside” for a major broadcaster. As a result, we are as confident discussing scheduling priorities or programming and sales strategies as we are pitching the next great show for your network. That gives us invaluable insight to the needs of broadcasters. That’s the Pivotal edge.
