About Blake Bagwell

Passionate and results-driven entertainment media professional with over a decade of experience specializing in global Standards & Practices, content classification, and policy enforcement. I bring expertise in navigating the complexities of live, scripted, non-fiction, documentary, and animated programming to ensure compliance with legal, industry, and network-specific ratings standards. Currently, I lead content review and classification for Warner Bros. Discovery’s global linear and streaming platforms. My work focuses on developing clear, actionable ratings guidelines, collaborating with cross-functional teams across Content, Legal, Product, and Global Affairs, and providing strategic guidance from pre-production through post-launch. I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, offering real-time ratings support for live broadcasts and high-profile events. With a strong foundation in stakeholder management, data-driven decision making, and cultural sensitivity, I am committed to delivering accurate maturity ratings and content advisories that resonate with diverse audiences worldwide. I am also pursuing an MBA at Kennesaw State University to further sharpen my strategic and leadership capabilities in the dynamic media landscape.
