“Through the total distribution strategy, Fred Media, along with his sister company Radar, offers highly compelling suggestions to producers. We are delighted that many trust us to do our best with content, from traditional television to YouTube channels, and maximize IP across all available platforms,” he said.
“We have grown out of the production business, so we really understand producers and the size of our boutiques makes us agile and flexible and can focus on our relationships.
“Having this expertise means that teams already know where many of the best opportunities are and can move quickly to take advantage of them. We are excited to arrive at MIPCOM and share this incredible selection of new content with our network.”
Mipcom Cannes will be held from October 13th to 16th.
