Endemol has acquired from IMG the independent production outfit Tiger Aspect Productions.
The details of the deal were not revealed.
Tiger Aspect is based in the U.K. with offices in New York, and produces programming in a wide range of genres and formats, including animation. The animated series Charlie & Lola is one of its recent hits.
The deal also included documentary producer Darlow Smithson Productions and wildlife outlet Tigress.
All three will now report into Endemol UK management. The portfolios of all three companies will be represented by Endemol Worldwide Distribution and Endemol Group’s format sales operation.
‘Endemol is the real deal ‘ a fully functioning global creative business,’ says Andrew Zein, managing director of Tiger Aspect. ‘They understand and appreciate what we do and how we do it. For us this is the dream deal we thought would never happen. We’ve found the ideal home.’
