Matthias Hämmerly new Head of Content at Mediafisch
Matthias Hämmerly is taking on the role of Head of Content and member of the executive board, assuming responsibility for all content at the TV production company Mediafisch. He is moving from SRF, where he currently serves as head of commissioned productions and program acquisitions.
TV producer Mediafisch is reorganizing its management structure and bringing on board a TV expert in Matthias Hämmerly. In his role as Head of Content, Hämmerly will be responsible for the content development and implementation of all Mediafisch productions. He will take up his post by the end of spring at the latest.
The previous holder of the position, Theresa Hofer, is reducing her workload at her own request and wants to work more on the production front again. In her new role as Head Producer, the experienced TV producer will share responsibility for special projects and format development.
Matthias Hämmerly has worked in various areas at SRF over the past ten years, including as Senior Developer Youth/Family/Entertainment and Senior Producer Factual Entertainment. In these roles, he developed and produced numerous linear and nonlinear broadcast formats and podcasts, and was responsible for content development for the Thursday, 9 p.m. slot on SRF 1, as well as development and implementation of various docu-series. Before joining SRF, Hämmerly worked as a video journalist at Telebärn and as a presenter and editor at TV 3 Plus and Radio Rabe.
"Matthias Hämmerly is an absolute professional who has mastered the entire claviature of TV making at the highest level. He will qualitatively secure our strong growth of the last years and will be decisively responsible for our future expansion," says Marc Görtz, Managing Partner of Mediafisch. "Theresa Hofer has been with Mediafisch since its inception and is indispensable to us. That's why I'm very pleased that she will remain with us as a reliable doer on the front line with her creative talent and experience."
