NEW YORK: Yiota Pagoulatos has been appointed director of communications and partnerships at the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the body that runs the International Emmy Awards. She took up the role in New York this month.
The move caps eight years running Pink Orchid International, her boutique consultancy advising global media and entertainment firms on executive messaging, thought leadership and visibility. Her clients ranged from China’s CCTV and India’s DocuBay to Korea’s Something Special and the Mongolian National Film Council. She also fronted campaigns and partnerships at global markets including Mipcom Cannes, Banff, ATF Singapore and the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film.
Earlier, Pagoulatos spent nine years at Reed Midem, rising from coordinator to sales director. She handled sponsorships and content launches for clients including Lionsgate, DreamWorks, MGM, Miramax and Starz, managing multimillion-euro accounts and delivering high-profile premieres such as Power and The Book of Negroes.
Her new brief at the Academy brings her back to the heart of international television, with a focus on growing the Emmys’ global partnerships and communications footprint.
