ODMedia is positioned within the global arena and is headquartered in the Netherlands. ODMedia has offices or local representation across Spain (Western Europe), the Nordics, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland (Eastern Europe), Belgium, France, CĂ´te d’Ivoire, and South Africa, in this way establishing a well positioned global presence with a strong focus on the EMEA region. The Johannesburg office is led by entertainment industry veteran Jane Raggett.
“South Africa is a country that produces high-value content and serves as a beacon for content owners from other African regions,” says CEO Sjef Pijnenburg in an interview with Callsheet.
“When the opportunity came up to have Jane on board we acted fast, recognising the potential of the African continent and specifically the key market of South Africa. With the fast growth of the African OTT market, ODMedia followed the expansion of platforms and/or partners (Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Google). Since 2019, we are proud to have supported content owners with their technical and aggregation needs and continue to do so.”
ODMedia manages everything a content owner needs for platform delivery. “From localization to artwork creation and from OTT deliveries into global players to local platforms. ODMedia also acts as a digital gateway into the US, CA and LATAM AVOD Platforms facilitating content aggregation for the African market,” Pijnenburg adds.
The company welcomes engagement with the film and television industry in South Africa and across the continent. “ODMedia is a knowledge leader and, via Jane Raggett in Joburg and our office in CĂ´te d’Ivoire, we are able to share the latest technical requirements from all parties. We also are able to give input on aggregation and guidance on the strategy that can be used within the content strategy,” Pijnenburg explains.
