Gemma Hunt

This week I have been asked by my group leader, Brad, to do some research on our guest speakers. Presenter Gemma Hunt has been confirmed in the last couple of days and I think she will make a valuable contribution to the day of the event. Hunt is a freelance presenter and has worked mainly for CBBC, she started off doing a media performance BA at university.

Gemma is managed by Take 3, a company who specialise in television, radio and publishing and have been in business since 1998. I think that Gemma will be able to give the Bath College students some idea about seeking out the correct form of management and explain how media companies work.

Here is a brief overview of her work so far within the media industry.
