Industry veteran Caitlin Meek-O’Connor will lead Night Train Digital, having joined Herbert L. Kloiber’s production and financing business last year.

The unit will focus on producing and managing TV and digital-first content across a number of platforms. It will manage all existing YouTube and social channels for Eccho Rights, the London-based distribution business owned by Night Train, and will take a broader look at the wider Night Train group and external clients.

“Night Train Digital represents our commitment to expanding our digital footprint and enhancing our content strategy,” said Kloiber, CEO of Night Train Media. “With Caitlin Meek-O’Connor at the helm, we are poised to explore new opportunities and deliver engaging digital-first content to global audiences.”

Meek-O’Connor had joined Eccho Rights a year ago as Digital Commercial Director, overseeing the scripted distributor’s direct-to-consumer offers. Prior to that, she had spent six years with All3Media-owned Little Dot Studios. Other roles have include senior acquisitions positions at Beyond and DRG.

“I am thrilled to join Night Train Media and lead the charge at Night Train Digital,” said Caitlin Meek-O’Connor. “Our goal is to build a dynamic digital-first label that not only strengthens the presence of Eccho Rights on platforms like YouTube and social media, but also offers bespoke digital content solutions to partners across the Night Train group and beyond.”

Night Train launched in February 2020 with bases in Munich and London. Working with international producers and distributors, it has attached itself to a number of high-profile projects, including the upcoming European drama Safe Harbor from Ozark co-creator Mark Williams.

Several acquisitions have also been made, including deals for Eccho Rights, Paul Heaney’s BossaNova Media and Chess Masters producer Curve Media.
