Gravity Media Names Sean Seamer President Of US Operations

Gravity Media, a global provider of complex live broadcast facilities and production services, has hired Sean Seamer as president for its U.S. business. He will be supported by the current Managing Director Ted Griggs, who will still work closely across the U.S. offices in his new role as executive vice president.

Seamer brings a wealth of global experience in sports and media. His previous role was CEO of Supercars, which runs the Australian touring-car championship, the Supercars Championship. Supercars is also where he first worked with Gravity Media, as the company has been the Supercars broadcast services and facilities partner for the past eight years and more recently, the Supercars’ technology partner since 2020.

Seamer’s previous experience includes being the CEO of MediaCom ANZ, where he helped the company with a rebuild of its business and cultural plan. Prior to that, he was the CEO of GroupM New Zealand, where he oversaw the introduction of the holding company in that market. His global experience includes roles in San Francisco, London and Singapore.

Griggs, who’s been Gravity Media’s managing director of its U.S. business since October of 2021, will now be moving into a new executive vice president role for the company where he’ll continue to be active in Gravity Media’s North American operation, working with Seamer to align and build the company’s regional strategy and U.S. growth agenda.

John Newton, Gravity Media founder-CEO, said: “Sean brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the media, sports and broadcast industries. His expertise will help to guide our ongoing innovations and keep us at the forefront of broadcast production technology. We’re excited to have him join the team and work with Ted in his new role as executive vice president.”

With facilities in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany and Qatar, Gravity Media serves creators in every major broadcast market, from sport and media to news and entertainment around the globe.
