Autentic has bought the boutique factual distributor Albatross World Sales, adding more than 600 hours of factual content to its slate, with Anne Olzmann remaining as MD of the outfit.
Olzmann will work in acquisitions as the point of contact for producers, while Autentic will take on distribution operation for the diverse slate.
“Building and growing Albatross World Sales over the past 16 years has been an intense and deeply personal journey, one that I have pursued with great passion,” Olzmann said. “Looking at the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly consolidating market, I am excited to join forces with Autentic to create a future-proof and sustainable structure that strengthens the international sales capabilities and ensures the best possible long-term opportunities for the programs in the global marketplace.”
“Autentic and Albatross share a long-standing and trusted relationship,” said Mirjam Strasser, director of sales and acquisitions at Autentic. “Creatively and culturally, we are an excellent fit. By combining our strengths, we are creating a stronger offering that benefits both producers and buyers alike. As the market rapidly evolves toward digital distribution models, this consolidation enables us to respond more effectively to changing demands and creates clear advantages for all parties involved.”
