Claire Runham

Head of Acquisitions

BossaNova Media

Having worked for distributor, broadcaster and producer since 2010, Runham’s well versed in what it takes to make great factual content which travels internationally. Through her time at distribution companies BossaNova Media, Beyond Rights and TCB Media Rights, she’s become highly experienced in supporting producers of unscripted content through acquisition, pre-sale, co-production and distribution. At BossaNova as Head of Acquisitions, she’s responsible for establishing relationships with producers and for identifying content for production and international distribution. Skilled at collaborative negotiation, she leads the curation and development of BossaNova’s slate of projects, crafting and developing editorial in partnership with producers and supporting the sales team. Runham thrives on the challenge of being part of a team who construct co-productions using creative deal making to bring content to life. Part of her role is to orchestrate the company’s ‘Development Day’ events which see projects brought to green-light from the ground up. The events are one string to the company’s bow, a venture that brings together the producers and buyers of unscripted TV in an integrated hub, creating a community that enables all of the stake-holders in the content chain to meet, create and do business. Whether there’s requirement for co-development, deficit financing, advance and/or cash-flow, she works to tailor make deals to suit the need of a production. An effective model has also been proven via seeding channel programming briefs amongst hand-picked producers, and forging introductions to tighten the gap between international broadcasters and producers. Runham sits across all of BossaNova’s acquisitions and pre-sale projects to ensure international opportunities and co-production relationships remain paramount. Prior to starting her career in distribution in 2016, she spent time at National Geographic Channels and Dragonfly Film & TV. Since 2021, BossaNova has received a content fund from its partner, Night Train Media.
