Greg Quail and Jesse Fawcett.
Greg Quail and Jesse Fawcett have re-branded their trans-national production company Essential Media and Entertainment as the Eq Media Group and are boosting their slate of unscripted and scripted content.
With development and production hubs in Los Angeles, Sydney, Dallas, Vancouver and Auckland, Eq Media Group has a core staff of 40, with a current run-of-show employee count of 70.
Quail and Fawcett bought the Essential companies in March from the collapsed Kew Media Group.
President and executive producer Fawcett said: “We have focused on staff retention and are proud to say we haven’t lost any employees. Our team’s focus on content development has now tripled our production slate with further North American show announcements in the pipeline.”
CEO and executive producer Quail said the name Eq was chosen to signify Emotional Quotient or Emotional Intelligence, the elements which they say drive the best storytelling.

There have been six redundancies in the Sydney office including Sadhana Jethanandani, head of production, Australia/ Nz, head of marketing Denise Anderson, two legal and two admin staff.
