About Marc Ollington

A career spanning over 20 years I held leadership roles at Fox Networks Group, part of global media company 21st Century Fox, for over a decade. Joining the organisation in 1998 my FOX career included roles based in London and Los Angeles, working across global TV brands such as FOX, National Geographic, FX and FOX Sports. In this time I led the marketing strategy and creative for iconic, award-winning TV shows including The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, The X-Files, True Blood and The Oscar & Bafta winner Free Solo. I oversaw European brand strategy for National Geographic, introduced the Bundesliga on FOX Sports and drove Europe & Africa launches for new VOD products FOX+ and National Geographic+. Since leaving 21CF I successfully consulted for the BAFTA award winning Magic Light Pictures, formulating and executing their marketing strategy for 2020 and beyond. This has led me to taking a full time position with them in April 2021. In-between I took on a FTC at Sky and was accountable for the entertainment marketing strategy, and launching hits including Roald and Beatrix, I Hate Suzie and The Undoing.
