Sarah Mackey

Director of Strategy, BBC Studios & Post Production

I have worked in the broadcast facilities industry for eight years. In 2004 I became a director of BBC Studios and Post Production (formerly BBC Resources) and last year I also joined the board of 3sixtymedia Ltd - the ITV/BBC joint venture in Manchester.

BBC Studios and Post Production (an arm's length, commercial subsidiary of the BBC) has a turnover c£62m and employs over 450 people. In my role as Director of Strategy I lead the strategy planning process, identify new market opportunities and develop potential strategic partners and alliances.  In addition, I contribute to strategic projects across the wider, public service, BBC - bringing a commercial and industry viewpoint to the table.

I would relish the opportunity to work with the UK Screen Association Board and think I could add value in the following ways:

•  Building on the Association's relationship with the BBC by acting as an industry champion across the Corporation
• Drawing on experience from across the studios, post production, outside broadcast and costume hire markets.
• Bringing a high level of rigour and analysis to industry challenges and Board projects

My previous experience includes two and a half years working as a management consultant with blue chip clients in the UK, USA and South America, developing market channel solutions, and five years in sales and marketing with a large, global, book-publishing company.
