TCB Media Rights is staffing up. The London based international distribution company has hired DCD Rights exec Lenneke de Jong to serve as their Sales Manager for for Latin America, Benelux and Iberia. She got her start in production roles at Endemol before seguing to a more commercial role as sales co-ordinator. 
In what is thought to be a first for a factual distributor, TCB Media Rights has hired Hannah Demidowicz to serve in the newly created role of Commissioning Editor. Her appointment reflects TCB's evolution from a mere distribution company to aso being mini-commissioner. This past year the company green-lit 50 hours of self-funded and co-developed projects to sit alongside acquired content on their distribution slate. They intend maintain or increase that total over the next two years.
