What are your acquisition strategies?
As suppliers for major networks, DVD and cross-media platforms, we look for projects with international appeal. Cross-media content properties are important; we are looking for successful formats or suitable content that we can develop for these new platforms. Development deals are good for creating a strong relationship with the producers. We do many co-productions and we secure the rights for international markets. Synergy with the other companies in our group is very important and good timing is fundamental.
