Tucked down an unremarkable driveway in suburban Auckland, passers-by could be forgiven for not realising that a vital component of New Zealand’s entertainment landscape is based here, nestled between unassuming brick homes and grassy lawns.
Inside I’m met with a cheery greeting from the receptionist and ushered through a labyrinth of corridors to a spacious conference room with an enormous table.
Waiting for me inside is Sky’s newly-appointed Head of Brand Marketing and Planning, Sarah Pepworth and Daniel Kelly, Chief Customer Officer.
I’ve been invited here to discuss Sky’s recent appointment of Sarah to this newly-established leadership role, as well as to chat to Daniel about what Sarah’s appointment as the final piece of the leadership puzzle means for the company’s future ambitions.
Along with Sarah’s appointment, Sky has welcomed a raft of new senior hires in 2023 including Ben GibbThomas Robins as Head of Sky Originals (Senior Commissioner – Scripted) and Nick Ward – Senior Content Commissioner – Non-Scripted, who have been assembled as a sort of ‘A-Team’ to drive the company forward.
