Renegade rejigs after Rowlands exit

UK-based Renegade Pictures has promoted one exec and hired another from Gogglebox Entertainment following the departure of creative director Jon Rowlands to the prodco’s parent Warner Bros.

Alexis Price

Alexis Price has been upped to creative director at the Don’t Tell The Bride producer while James Donkin is joining as head of development.

Rowlands is leaving after almost a decade with the firm to take on the newly minted role of creative director of new content at Warner Bros Television Production UK, reporting to the group’s MD Nick Emmerson.

Price moved into television in 2007, joining the BBC’s factual entertainment development team from the Manchester Evening News.

Stints in development at prodcos Tiger Aspect and Mentorn followed before she joined Renegade as an assistant producer in 2010 and was later promoted to head of development.

She will now report directly to editorial director Alan Hayling in the new role.

James Dorkin has been hired to take up the vacated head of development role, starting in October and reporting to Price. He joined Gogglebox in 2010 from Zodiak Media and co-developed and produced Release the Hounds for ITV2.
