 The private broadcaster 3+ wants to realize more in-house productions and is therefore expanding its team with Christina Noell and Martin Schäfer. The two are no strangers to the broadcaster: Noell was already on duty as head of the 3+ production "Supermodel" and Schäfer was responsible for sponsor integration and production management as a consultant. The 32-year-old Noell will now take over responsibility for the editorial content of in-house productions on 3+ as Head of Entertainment from March 1. After studying digital media, she initially worked as a consultant for the Berlin agency Aimaq Rapp Stolle. Since 2003, she has been working as a freelance author for image and documentary films as well as a producer and head of production. In addition to "Supermodel", the formats she has worked on include "Einsatz in 4 Wänden", "Weddingplaner", "Bravo TV", "Unsere Strasse" and "Schmeckt nicht gibts nicht".
Martin Schäfer has been a permanent employee since the beginning of the year and is responsible for the integration of branded entertainment in Swiss-German in-house productions and the production management of 3+. After working in an advertising agency and as a producer, Schäfer founded Couch Potatoes TV-Produktions GmbH together with his sister Bärbel Schäfer in 1998. As managing director and producer, Schäfer has produced well over 1,500 hours of programs for TV stations such as RTL, Sat.1, Pro7, RTL2, Kabel 1 and MTV in recent years; in 1999/00 also for the Swiss station TV3. From 2006, Schäfer was responsible for the development of branded entertainment activities at Scholz & Friends in Hamburg.
