Content creation, funding and distribution company BossaNova has named Claire Runham as its new Head of Acquisitions. In her new role, she will spearhead the curation and development of BossaNova’s slate of collaborative projects, crafting and developing editorial in partnership with producers and supporting the sales team.

Runham comes to BossaNova from Beyond Rights, which acquired TCB Media Rights in April 2020, following the collapse of the Kew Media Group. Her appointment sees her reunited with other original team members from TCB, including Head of Sales Holly Cowdery, Commercial and Business Affairs Director Claire Lowe, Finance and Operations Director Charlotte Johnson, and Marketing Manager Jasmin Joseph. Meanwhile, Joseph will also expand her role to Marketing and Acquisitions Manager, lending support to Runham’s department and sharing marketing intelligence with the producer community.

“It is not just a delight for almost the whole BossaNova team to be starting to work with Claire again but it is a benefit to the production community that cannot be understated. We are looking forward very much to seeing the undoubted success. Combined with Jasmin’s promotion to work in the acquisitions team adding similar value through her marketing expertise, which is gold these days, BossaNova can now give the indies we work with, and those we hope to work with, something special to help build sustaining creative businesses,”  said Paul Heaney, CEO of BossaNova.

“When Paul asked me to head up BossaNova’s acquisitions, I did not hesitate — and not just because being reunited with my ‘TCB family’ is an irresistible prospect. BossaNova is at a fascinating moment in its life cycle, moving from a start-up to a scale-up in a content market that is transforming by the day. Helping to drive the company into its next phase of development is also an irresistible professional challenge. I cannot wait to get stuck in,”  Runham added.
