He has also directed and produced shows across multiple genres, from documentaries (Hijos del corazón) and reality shows (Anonimous, Planeto Finito) to scripted titles (Herederos).

Previously, Martín served as an executive producer on formats for Telemundo and FOX and as a development/production consultant in entertainment and scripted for Powwow 360 and Cinemat USA.

Pilar Blasco, CEO of Banijay Iberia, said: “We are very grateful to Amparo Castellano for her hard work and professionalism, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors. Since 2019, Banijay Iberia has been fortunate to have Miguel Martín among its ranks, a born leader who has shown unbounded creativity. His commitment to innovation has led to original projects told from unique perspectives. All this, together with his excellent ability to manage large productions with outstanding results, makes him the ideal person to lead Zeppelin.”

Martín added: “I am honored to be at the head of a team that, in its 30th year, has produced such a range of high-quality formats. Zeppelin has achieved what few audiovisual companies do. It constantly reinvents and innovates, making programs which captivate the country, creating great original formats and co-producing with key international players. I am proud to take on this challenge and continue Zeppelin’s creative growth and development.”
