UAE-based video production house Nomad Productions has signed a new MENA deal with Omnisport. According to the new deal, Nomad Productions will be responsible for providing Omnisport with breaking sports news, exclusive interviews and features from across the Middle East and North Africa region.
Omnisport, a division of UK-based sports media group Perform supplies market-leading sports news coverage to more than 150 broadcasters and digital publishers worldwide for TV, online and mobile services.
Phil Griffiths, Director of Nomad Productions said: We are excited to be working with Omnisport, a service that is making a huge impact on global sports news distribution.
Perform is well known for monetising sports and entertainment rights in digital and traditional media. With some of the biggest global entertainment brands in its portfolio, the group has been a major driving force in the commercialisation of sport and entertainment rights online, on mobile and on TV.
Nomad Productions have appointed former news and sports journalist Eugene Harnan to help fulfill the brief for Omnisport. Harnan previously worked with UAE national newspaper, The National.
In his new role, Harnan will produce broadcast sports news content packages from sporting events and press conferences, as well as source unique sports news stories and features from across the region.
Nomad has a strong background in producing sports programming and sports event coverage, and we have a team that is passionate about producing high quality and engaging content, which goes hand-in-hand with the ethos at Omnisport,” added Griffiths.
Nomad Productions, which launched in the UAE in 2010, has previously worked with a host of broadcasters and companies worldwide to produce sports content. Most recently, the Dubai production company was appointed by OSN to help produce unique content for their coverage of the 2013 British & Irish Lions Tour of Australia, as well as live match day analysis packages and pitch-side production.
