Katie Savage

The Gate Films

Sales and Marketing Executive

Katie broke into the Film Production industry just over three years ago, joining The Gate Films as Studio Manager. Showing exceptional potential, Katie was promoted into the New Business team in November 2023. Shortly after this, her manager and Head of Commercial went on maternity leave. This meant that Katie became the first point of contact for agencies and clients, working on all new opportunities and pitches to get them over the line. This trajectory in such a short space of time is undoubtedly impressive, highlighting Katie as a future leader of our industry and a role model to those around her.

Since stepping up in February 2024, Katie has won over £2M in revenue for the business and worked on extremely competitive pitches up to the value of £600K. She has been integral in orchestrating and hosting various presentation meetings over the past 9 months putting the Gate Films offering directly in front of big house-hold names such as Channel 4, The National Lottery and Manchester City, leading to new and lucrative opportunities. Personable and relatable, Katie can build instant rapport with prospects, understanding that people are key when agencies are deciding who they want to work with and really leaning into this ethos. Both internally and externally, Katie has a knack for putting people at ease, offering considered and creative solutions and establishing herself, so early on in her career, as the port of call for all things New Business at The Gate Films.
