MTV Mastiff Recruits Magnus Ringmar

Zodiak Television’s Swedish subsidiary MTV Mastiff has recruited Magnus Ringmar as Managing Director.
Ringmar has for the last two years been Sales Manager at Meter Film & Television and is replacing Louise Juel.
Magnus Ringmar will take up the position as Managing Director of the production company MTV Mastiff in Spring 2007. He replaces Louise Juel who, it was recently announced, has become Vice President at Zodiak Television World based in Copenhagen.
Magnus has been working as Head of Sales at Meter (part of the Metronome group) for the last two years and before that he has, among others, been responsible for programming at Mediaedge:cia and was Head of Promotions & Presentations for TV3 Scandinavia.
“We believe Ringmar is a perfect fit for the company. Magnus’ experience with sales and production and his well known industry background is exactly what is needed when the medium is changing faster than the trends in fashion,” said Mikael Wallén, Managing Director of Zodiak Sweden, and adds: “I am convinced that Magnus will make MTV Mastiff even more successful than it already is.”
“I was very excited when Zodiak contacted me, it is the right time for me to take my career a step further and move on to new challenges. MTV Mastiff is a production company with great reputation and fun productions and I look forward to developing the company further, together with all the great people that work there," added Ringmar.
MTV Mastiff is the fourth largest production company in Sweden producing among others Strictly Come Dancing, The Lyric’s Board and The Mole. MTV Mastiff is also by far the largest supplier to newly started TV7. This year’s premiere of Strictly Come Dancing set a new record of almost 2.2 million viewers through two hours of transmission.
