BBC Broadcast will open offices in New York City during July, it has been announced.

The commercial media services arm of the BBC is planning an "aggressive" expansion into America, and hopes to provide its services to both terrestrial and cable television channels in the US.

"Our offering of high caliber award-winning work, talent and global entertainment perspective has not been available in the US until now," said Andy Bryant, BBC Broadcast's Director of Creative Services. "We see a tremendous opportunity in the U.S. marketplace as the market continues to grow and the desire for a unique perspective is in demand. With an expert team of creative service professionals on-staff in London, supported by the efforts of our soon-to-be-named US executive, we are now able to offer that same level of quality marketing and design solutions to networks here in America. Working as a commercial entity, BBC Broadcast delivers incredibly effective concepts and designs at a very competitive rate."

BBC Broadcast's new offices will be located at 747 Third Avenue in New York City.
