Profile

Our Sales Department has outstanding success on both a national and international level in marketing the wealth of programs produced by ZDF and ZDF Enterprises, as well as the productions of third parties.


In this endeavour our highly motivated sales team draws particular strength from the power behind one of the biggest producers in Europe: the Zweite Deutsche Fernsehen, ZDF.
Since ZDF has such a long and successful history as a broadcaster, ZDF Enterprises is able to access an extremely comprehensive collection of premium German language programs - a virtually inexhaustible pool that is extended each year by new productions with a value of over 300 million euros.

Our top-quality, sophisticated programs in every conceivable genre and format have earned praise and enthusiasm from viewers both at home and abroad. The best evidence of this successful blend of quality and ratings is the success of our clients, and we are proud to note that they remain loyal to us over the years. We have clients and partners in every country on Earth, and naturally we are always prepared to lend them our support and assistance.

Moreover, we are happy to place our efficient sales structure and worldwide network of contacts at the service of others in the industry. We take on distribution mandates for productions of all genres from producers, distribution companies and television stations and are able to cover every step in the rights marketing chain.

South Africa: Rich Heritage and Bright Future

The eyes of the world are on South Africa in 2010. But how well do we know this country?

How did it become the host of the first-ever Football World Cup on African soil? How did it transform itself into the vibrant country we know today? And what about football's evolution into a game played and watched by millions around the world?

Give your viewers the answers they want with two engrossing documentaries, a web module and video clips on the timely topics of South Africa and football.

History to Go – A Stimulating Brew of Documentaries

Historical documentaries are more "in" than ever before, and people all over the world are hungry for facts. History, not hearsay! In depth but in tune with the times. History with heart and soul. Let the stories of the past sweep you away to the distant worlds of Machu Picchu and the Ottoman Empire, of the Taj Mahal and the Indus Valley, and into the turbulent past of Islam, a topic that demands our attention more than ever today.

Prime Crime – From Hard-Boiled to Soft-Hearted

Crime never pays? Just ask the broadcasters who've acquired our crime series and cop shows! For years now, we've been transforming mayhem and murder into series that ensure top ratings. From hard-hitting formats to quirky dramas; from primetime procedurals to pre-primetime "crime lite" our whodunits offer programs to satisfy every armchair investigator. When it comes to thrills and chills, we deliver the goods.

Any Season is right for Spring Feelings

This spring, there's more than Rosamunde Pilcher or Inga Lindstroem, "Dream Voyages" or "Cruises into Cloud Nine" waiting for you. ZDF Enterprises presents two new romantic film collections that pamper viewers with gorgeous landscapes, harrowing strokes of fate and heart-melting love. Discover the screen adaptations of Joanna Trollope's novels, as well as our "summer romance" collection set in exotic locations.
