Zinc Media Group plc
("Zinc" or the "Group")
Launch of Zinc Distribution
Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the award-winning television, brand and audio production group, announces the launch of Zinc Distribution marking a key milestone in the Group's strategy to enhance revenues from its owned IP (intellectual property) and Programme sales.
Distribution is a core pillar in the Group's growth strategy producing high margin IP revenue streams through its quality back catalogue. Heading to MIPCOM this October, the team will be showcasing this extensive catalogue in Cannes, featuring titles such as: Terror at 30,000 Feet, Police Interceptors and Stonehenge: The Lost Circle Revealed.
The launch of Zinc Distribution builds on the success of the acquisition of Raw Cut last October, and its established in-house distribution arm. With many years of experience selling its programmes direct to worldwide broadcasters - including the Channel 5 break-out hit Police Interceptors whose 300 hours have been sold across Europe and Australasia - along with Zinc Media Group's extensive back catalogue and development pipeline, Zinc Distribution is positioned for substantial revenue growth and global expansion.
The venture will enhance Zinc Media Group's IP exploitation in both worldwide linear sales and digital opportunities in the UK and across the globe. With 11 labels the fast-growing production house produces hundreds of hours of new content each year.
Historically, content has been placed with a variety of distributors resulting in Zinc shows placed in more than 150 territories and Zinc Distribution aims to augment these successes. By centralising the group's distribution activity, Zinc Distribution will strengthen relationships with existing distribution partners, forge new partnerships with broadcasters and digital platforms, and drive programme sales and revenue streams across digital content, format licences and merchandising opportunities.
Mark Browning, CEO Zinc Media Group said , "The launch of Zinc Distribution marks the culmination of years of investment in content creation and distribution, enabling us to harness the power of our extensive back catalogue. We're all excited to be able to control more of our IP going forward and manage global sales of our content. In addition, by capitalising on our rich library of IP, we're well-positioned to lead in the ever-evolving digital distribution landscape and drive sustainable long-term growth".
