# Embassy Row (production company)

Embassy Row is an American television, global-based format, and digital production company based in New York City and a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Television. It was founded in 2005 by British television producer Michael Davies, entertainment marketer Tera Banks and film producer Chris Moore.

## History
### Diplomatic Productions

Davies' first production company, Diplomatic Productions (or just Diplomatic), was founded on December 12, 2000 with the help of ABC and Disney. Davies was originally a senior vice president for Buena Vista Productions, who later joined ABC in February 1998 as executive vice president.

### Embassy Row

On May 12, 2005, Davies joined forces with entertainment marketer Tera Banks and LivePlanet co-founder and former CEO Chris Moore to form a new company, Embassy Row. Diplomatic was immediately folded into the new company in the process.
In January 2009, Embassy Row was acquired by SPT, the two having signed a partnership deal three years prior in January 2006.
