Tresor, one of Germany’s leading non-scripted production companies, has signed an exclusive first-look deal with Richard Bacon’s Yes Yes Media for non-scripted TV formats in Germany. This agreement will give Keshet International-owned Tresor an exclusive window on all new non-scripted formats developed by the Sister and Satisfaction Group-backed TV and tech entertainment production company.
The two companies have already started collaborating as part of the newly established creative partnership between Satisfaction Group and Keshet International (KI) (announced in January of this year), which brought together creatives from both format powerhouses in Paris in June as part of the inaugural International Creative Alliance Days hosted by Satisfaction Group.
Tresor’s MD Axel Kuehn referred to the deal: “From what I saw in Paris, Yes Yes Media are really looking to innovate and break new ground with their formats. As a company, I feel they’re completely aligned with us and what we do in Germany, where Tresor is always at the forefront of TV trends. I’m really excited at the prospect of working with Richard and his team to develop some of their formats for our broadcast partners here in Germany," stated.
Yes Yes Media’s Richard Bacon ewed the agreement as a commitment to pushing boundaries:“At Yes Yes, we like to push the boundaries of what’s possible in entertainment, developing big original entertainment formats - and formats that integrate our innovative proprietary technology, to create emotionally engaging, culturally relevant productions. We also believe it is through collaboration that groundbreaking ideas are born. This new, creative partnership with Keshet International’s Tresor is about more than just "content distribution"; it’s about collaborating and innovating with our brilliant new partners to develop formats that have a lasting impact on the global stage," added.
For Tresor, this new first-look deal with Yes Yes Media follows two previously successful first-look partnerships. A quick look at these achievements shows that with MGM Television’s Global Formats division, Tresor developed and produced MGM’s "Generation Gap" for North Rhine-Westphalia's free-to-air TV network WDR as "Das ist meine Zeit – Die Generationenshow" (This is My Time - The Generation Show), as well as MGM’s "Skate Fever" for RTLZWEI as "Skate Fever – Stars auf Rollschuhen."
Additionally, with CJ ENM, Tresor adapted CJ ENM’s award-winning "300: War of United Voices" for Sat1 as "United Voices – Das größte Fanduell der Welt" and produced three successful seasons of CJ ENM’s hit music mystery show "I Can See Your Voice" for RTL.
