General Manager at Koko TV
KOKO TV is a fast growing music production company, based at London’s iconic music venue, KOKO.
Founded in 2010, we have quickly established ourselves as a major player in the youth music market.
Series 1 of our debut show KOKO POP brought live performances and interviews with the biggest names in pop, including Taio Cruz and Paloma Faith, to millions of young music lovers.
Aired on T4 on prime-time Saturday mornings, the show was carefully targeted to a 15-24 demographic and delivered a suite of brand extension opportunities to our corporate partner.
Following this success, KOKO TV is now exploring a series of exciting new formats.
We are already working with potential media partners and collaborators to produce a number of innovative shows, employing a wide range of production elements: from reality TV to live music performances.
As London’s premier live venue, KOKO has put on shows for many of the world’s biggest artists, including Madonna, Prince, Coldplay and Christina Aguilera.
We have also staged a 30-day iTunes Festival filmed by Endemol, and hosted shows for Disney, AOL and the prime-time TV production, The Album Chart Show.About the job
