Dick Clark Productions Expands Talent Division With Hire, Promotion

Dick Clark Productions said Monday that it has hired Apple Music executive Sara Kantathavorn as its SVP Talent Strategy and upped Jeremy Lowe to VP Talent and Partnerships.

The moves boost the talent division of live event producer DCP, which is behind productions including the Golden Globes, Billboard Music Awards, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest and more. The company has been adding to its ranks since it was acquired in January by Penske Media Eldridge, a Penske Media Corp. subsidiary and joint venture between Deadline owner PMC and Eldridge.
