Adam Reed is the Emmy-nominated CEO of Thinkfactory Media, an ITV America company that produces an array of content for television networks, streaming and digital platforms. A veteran producer, having created series for a wide range of network partners, Reed balances his creative prowess and business acumen in helming Thinkfactory. Across his roughly 20-year tenure, he's helped grow the company into a preeminent network supplier - shepherding and producing hit series in nearly every genre and format, and establishing beloved, long-running franchises. Reed oversees all business, creative development, and production of the company's diverse slate of projects, which feature bold and unexpected subjects that captivate America's heartland. The company's recent series and long-running hits include Toby Keith: American Icon for NBC, splashy formats such as TBS's Rat in the Kitchen, WE tv juggernauts Marriage Boot Camp & Mama June, A&E's What's it Worth? with Jeff Foxworthy, as well as docuseries spanning Gene Simmons' Family Jewels for A&E, Carole Baskin's Cage Fight for discovery+, and Addicted to Marriage for TLC. Reed joined Thinkfactory in 2005 as showrunner on Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, which he co-created with Simmons. Reed went on to executive produce seven seasons of the hit show and more than 150 episodes. His other credits at Thinkfactory include the Emmy nominated record setting mini-series Hatfields & McCoys with Kevin Costner & Bill Paxton, WE tv's Million Dollar Matchmaker, TV One's R&B Divas franchise, CMT's Sun Records, Lifetime's Preacher's Daughters, Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le and My Great Big Live Wedding with David Tutera, The Donner Party: Dead of Winter for The Weather Channel, History's Texas Rising, Married by Mom & Dad and Strange Love for TLC, Rookies for A&E, Dogg after Dark, hosted by Snoop Dogg, for MTV, and many more. In 2011, Reed became the youngest producer ever to be included in The Hollywood Reporter's "Reality Power List." Reed is also an accomplished author, with multiple published children's books. His first, titled "Bee in the Sea," was awarded three first-place Royal Dragonfly Awards, including Best New Author, and was named a Finalist in Next Gen's Indie Book Awards. Meanwhile, his most recent book (and plush set), "Reindeer in Here" has become a holiday sensation and Christmas perennial with an Emmy-nominated animated Christmas special which debuted on CBS in 2022 and streams on Paramount+. "Reindeer in Here" is the #1 animated holiday special across all of broadcast, streaming and cable and is also now the most awarded Christmas tradition brand ever. Reed lives in Nashville Tennessee with his wife and two young children.

Reviewers score the dialogue 33/100 and the plot and story 40/100 in their films, across 5 reviewed titles. The element that speaks to their work as a writer.
Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
