Creative media company Alkemy X has added Brittany George and Maria Allen as, respectively, manager of TV & digital content, and controller.
George will work alongside EVP of TV & digital programming Andy Singer–former Travel Channel GM who joined Alkemy X this summer–to develop original content. Alkemy X’s most recent title in this division is season two of “Unique Rides” on the upscale men’s cable network Velocity. In the show, world-renowned automotive designer and host Will Castro builds customized cars for celebrity clients.
George previously worked at Leftfield Entertainment, which produced FOX’s “American Grit”; History’s “Alone” and “Pawn Stars”; and Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey.” During her tenure with the company, she developed original content for Discovery, MTV, History, Animal Planet, Lifetime, Snapchat and Vevo, among a variety of cable networks and digital platforms. George was also integral to the growth of Riot Creative, a subsidiary of Leftfield, as well as program development for eight of its other brands. A Marist alumna, George broke into the professional ranks as an executive assistant at ITV and Leftfield Pictures. Her first taste of the entertainment business was college internships for “Live With Kelly and Michael” and “The Dr. Oz Show.”
Allen spent the past three years working at NBC Sports Group in Connecticut, during which she served in two different roles: as manager of financial reporting, she was responsible for all financial activity related to NBCSN, NBC Broadcast, and the NFL; as accounting manager at NBC Sports, she was responsible for all Sports Regional Networks.
Prior to the Comcast/NBC merger, she was an accounting supervisor for Comcast SportsNet and the American Board of Internal Medicine, respectively, in Philadelphia. During her nine years with Comcast/NBC, Allen’s responsibilities spanned annual budgeting, long-range planning, forecasting, audits, and monthly close cycles.
