One of Japan’s leading private broadcasters, TBS has hired K7 Media to work directly with its international team to provide expert insights surrounding the global TV format market, support with international growth and help the broadcaster connect with new partners.
Discussing the decision to bring K7 Media onboard, Mayu Sunaga, Director of International Distribution Department at TBS, said: “K7 Media’s flexible and hands on approach makes them the perfect partner for us as we continue to grow. We have already been so impressed with the team’s regional expertise and the level of support they offer.
“We hope to be able to clarify the process for the new businesses, especially in the format business, by working together with a great partner like K7 Media."
