Maximilian Bolenius, VP Sales, German Speaking Europe & Central/Eastern Europe at FremantleMedia International, said: "The German speaking territories are not only a key market for every major distributor but they are also home to some of the most discerning audiences in Europe - and the competition between suppliers of high quality content is fierce. We are really pleased that our clients have chosen to buy from our diverse portfolio and are confident they will do so again when they see our newest offerings."
