Linette Zaulich takes over the role of Head of B2C at ZDF Studios
Mainz, 1 April 2025
Linette Zaulich is taking on the role of Head of B2C with immediate effect, in addition to her current role as Director Unscripted at ZDF Studios. In this context, B2C encompasses the development and management of direct offers to end consumers through licensing to platforms such as streaming services, FAST channels or digital marketplaces, without the company itself acting as the organiser of its own offers.
Markus Schäfer, President and CEO of ZDF Studios: ‘For ZDF Studios GmbH, the new distribution channels represent an increasingly attractive business area with a wide range of growth prospects. The scope of our activities in the now almost 'classic' area of licensing programmes to VoD platforms, as well as our cooperation with existing and new partners in the area of FAST channels, requires a centralised bundling of all tasks across all genres. We are delighted to have found the right expert in Linette Zaulich.’
Linette Zaulich, Director Unscripted and Head of B2C at ZDF Studios: 'I feel honoured to be entrusted with this new position in this exciting phase of change and to actively drive forward our B2C business. For me, ZDF Studios is one of the few companies that not only recognises change, but also boldly shapes the future.
