Media Ranch Pacts with ICM Partners for U.S. Representation

Media Ranch has signed a deal with talent agency ICM Partners for U.S. representation.

Media Ranch enjoyed success in Q4 2019 with ten deals in three weeks for its new entertainment game-show format Watch!, which is in series production in Germany. Banijay Group’s Bunim/Murray Productions is currently shopping Watch! in the U.S. In addition to its own formats, Media Ranch distributes formats for third parties, including the unscripted format catalog from Danish broadcaster DR.

Sophie Ferron, founder, president and executive producer of Media Ranch, said: “Media Ranch is thrilled to be represented in the U.S. by ICM, a leading talent agency with a stellar reputation. We trust them to handle our premium portfolio and ensure our formats and programs are seen in the best light.”

She continued, “Media Ranch has been very strong in Europe, especially in Scandinavia, as well as Australia and Canada. With its recent sale of the hit format Watch! to Banijay Group’s Bunim/Murray Productions, Media Ranch is expanding further into the U.S.  The ICM partnership will help us continue to strengthen our presence.”
