Jens Richter, the managing director of SevenOne
International, commented: “Event programs like Treasure Island and Comet Impact offer top-quality, international-caliber
entertainment. Not only are they narrated in up-to-date ways, but their
production values are first-class. Which means we supply quality—and that
pays. Many stations buy our productions even before they’ve been completed.
That shows how much buyers trust us. In the case of major events, sales to 50
to 100 countries are no rarity.”
