XTV EXPANDS DESIGN DEPARTMENT

FORMER heads of Red Pepper ID, Richard Markell and Bob Cosford, have joined forces with leading design and production facility, XTV, as Executive Producer and Executive Creative Director respectively.
In a further development, former Ricochet 4 graphic designer and Henry operator, Sue Land, is also set to join the XTV team from September.
At a time when the industry is experiencing a general slowdown, XTV is bucking the trend by investing in talent and expanding into new markets. The combination of XTV's reputation in TV design, production and post-production with the TV branding expertise of Markell and Cosford will enable XTV to re-inforce and enhance its position as a leading player in the TV branding market.
While the move is a culmination of a healthy long-term client/competitor relationship between the two companies, this opportunity only arose through the recent and untimely closure of Red Pepper ID.
