, the TV production and sales arm launched two years ago with backing from Liberty Global and private equity giant TPG.
Last year, Boat Rocker bought unscripted production banner Matador Content and the kids and family division of FremantleMedia. In March, the company invested in talent management firm Untitled Entertainment. “The way Boat Rocker is structuring their business lanes was really interesting to me,” O’Connell Marsh told“They’ve got Untitled in talent management, Matador in the unscripted space, and a kids division. It felt like a really interesting company for us to slot in to fill their scripted needs. There’s a lot of access to resources that will be important to the talent I’m in business with. I think there will be a lot of opportunities to work across different divisions and share resources.
After the Matador and Untitled deals, it became clear to the Boat Rocker team that there was a hole in the portfolio to be filled by a strong scripted production operations in Los Angeles. O’Connell Marsh’s success in getting numerous projects ordered in barely two years time made Platform One an attractive option.
