Big Block’s managing director Kenny Solomon announced that the company has hired Caroline Gomez for the newly created role of director of business development. She will be based in Big Block’s Santa Monica studio and will work closely with executive producer Corwin Carroll at Big Block’s New York location.
Founded in 2011, Big Block produces and distributes media and content for commercials, interactive, television, feature films and Broadway theater.
Primary goals for Gomez will be to identify new business opportunities and synergies to maximize Big Block’s resources and drive sales. She will also manage relationships with agencies, creatives and brands and promote Big Block through social media and at events, award shows and conferences.
Gomez comes to Big Block from after spending 14 years as director of marketing at Motion Theory. One of the first hires at Motion Theory, Gomez worked directly with the founders to grow the company. She also helped to launch Motion Theory’s sister company Mirada.
Gomez has forged long-standing relationships with a diverse array of clients, which include high-profile advertising agencies, top music labels and internationally renowned brands such as Audi, AT&T, Disney, Nike, Under Armour, Lexus, IBM, Maytag and Discovery Networks.
“This is such an exciting time for me to join Big Block,” said Gomez. “Their growth potential is tremendous. I look forward to working with everyone at the studio to help forge new partnerships and target new opportunities.”
“This is a transformational time for Big Block,” Solomon said. “Caroline really understands our space and how we are positioned for the future. Her awareness of the industry and ability to build relationships will enable her to pursue opportunities and communicate the value of all that Big Block has to offer clients and brands.”
