The move will keep their full operations within rights management, production, and growth marketing under the Spring Media brand.

Meanwhile, Staylive will remain the Swedish group’s streaming service brand.

As part of the change, Spring Media has appointed Hans Svelander as CCO to “lead and develop its commercial department, including shaping the offering of the group and executing on the strategy plan established in 2023.” 

Tobias Osmund, Spring Media's chief executive, said: “Svelander is one of the founders of Spring Media and an industry veteran with an outstanding understanding of, and experience from, all parts of our business. With his strong commercial acumen and track record I cannot think of a better person as CCO and coach to the commercial team than Hans.”

The Swedish firm acquired both ASG and Hogmore Media in October 2022.

ASG has offices in the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia, which expanded Spring Media’s footprint into the regions.

Hogmore Media is based in Liechtenstein and Austria, which allowed Spring Media to enter new territories across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland).
