Ninja Tune has brought two new people into its sync department, Isobel Palos and Rob Buckley.

Palos, formerly Head Of Film & TV at Beggars, will take up the same role at Ninja and its publishing division Just Isn’t Music, with the addition of advertising to her remit. Meanwhile Buckley joins from Pitch & Sync to head up the Bespoke department, working with the label and publisher’s artists and composers on specific commissions.

“I’m very flattered to be invited to join Ninja Tune/Just Isn’t Music – a label and publisher I’ve admired from afar for many years”, says Palos. “And I’m looking forward to working with such a dedicated and passionate team of people and their brilliant artists and writers”.

Buckley adds: “Having been a huge fan of Ninja Tune for many years I’m extremely excited to be working with their amazing artists and writers. It’s going to be great fun getting stuck into the catalogue and I’m particularly looking forward to building upon their impressive bespoke work”.

Commenting on the new hires, Head Of Worldwide Sync & Publishing Martin Dobson says:
“Having two such experienced industry heads join at the same time is a huge coup for us. From her twelve years working at Beggars, Isobel brings with her an extensive client base and a wealth of experience in all forms on sync”.

“We are really excited to introduce her to the lesser know gems of our catalogue and the personalities within our roster of artists”, he continues. “We’ve worked with Rob at various stages of his journey through the industry and to have him come on board to focus on original composition is a perfect fit for the team here and our composers who he’ll be working with so closely. We can’t wait for them to both get stuck in!”
