Steve Buckley, Managing Director

Steve is a pioneer of branded entertainment and has devised and produced many successful shows for TV and online.

His experience ranges across the spectrum relevant to branded entertainment. After tipping its emergence as Editor of Media Week and championing it as MD of Broadcast, he combined the roles of Publishing Director and producer to make TV and video for Empire and Heat.

As Head of TV & Video for Emap and Bauer Media, he devised and produced branded programmes for all of the major commercial broadcasters and all of the major web platforms -- ranging from a 13-part terrestrial TV series for Match magazine, to award-winning viral videos for advertisers.

Since launching Signal with Neil Bennett in March 2009 in the knowledge that branded entertainment is growing faster than any other marketing activity, he's been delighted to stand up a hunch that clients would want outstanding work at realistic rates.
