Goalhanger has appointed Nicole Logan as Executive Producer – Development and Andy Neilson as PR & Communications Manager in two new roles.

Logan, formerly Head of Development at production company Reduced Listening, will lead efforts to find talent, pilot shows, and take them to launch.

She brings a knowledge of existing talent in audio and experience in bringing through people new to the medium. Her remit will cover genres such as history, politics, entertainment, and sports while developing shows for new audiences.

Over the past four years, she has supported clients and producers with new initiatives and ideas across podcasts and radio, where she worked predominantly with BBC Radio 3, 6Music, BBC Sounds, and Spotify. She was also the executive producer of Nailing It for Spotify, Arlo Park’s Dream Fuel and Gilles Peterson for 6 Music, and The Sleeping Forecast for BBC Sounds.

Before Reduced Listening, Logan held various roles in the radio output of the Roundhouse in Camden and is a founding trustee of the audio charity Multitrack.

Neilson, formerly Communications & Marketing Manager at the trade body British Association for Screen Entertainment, will work on public relations for Goalhanger, supporting the ambition to be a world-leading media network. He will run consumer-facing communications for Goalhanger-produced shows while also leading the broader B2B press strategy across commercial activity and the business as a whole.

Over the past seven years, Neilson has implemented multi-channel communications activities tailored for a range of B2B and B2C audiences across the UK and Europe on behalf of major Hollywood studios like The Walt Disney Company EMEA & Warner Bros. Discovery and OTT streaming/VOD platforms like Prime Video & Sky Store.

Before BASE, he had various roles across the promotions and marketing teams at Universal Music Group N.V.

In their new roles, both will report to Managing Director and Co-Founder Jack Davenport, who said: “We are thrilled to welcome Nicole and Andy to our team. Their extensive experience will be invaluable as we expand our portfolio of shows and audiences, increase our presence in international markets, and further develop our established shows across social media, video, and events.”
