Fremantle Archive Sales launches On-Line Catalogue

Fremantle Archive Sales, the clip and still sales division of FremantleMedia, one of the largest international creators and producers of programme brands in the world, today announced the launch of a brand new website, www.fremantlearchivesales.com, which will allow users to browse through FremantleMedia’s entire Archive Sales catalogue online.

For the very first time in FremantleMedia history, the site will grant content users access to titles from the FremantleMedia catalogue online simply by inputting a programme or artist’s name into the search box. The development of this site will mean that FremantleMedia’s entire catalogue of footage and stills will be accessible worldwide and highlight the diversity and range of programmes that FremantleMedia has to offer, from modern phenomenons such as American Idol to classics hits like Neighbours.

Users will also be able to search for footage and stills from third party catalogues represented by Fremantle Archive Sales, such as Fresh One (Jamie’s Kitchen, Jamie’s School Dinners), as well as the Thames News Archive, which includes London news from the 1970s right through to 1992. In addition, the website will act as a forum to announce any new developments and acquisitions and users will be able to sign up to receive regular email mailshots containing all the latest news.

Sam Partner, Business Development Executive, Fremantle Archive Sales commented: “The development of this website presents a fantastic opportunity for the Archive Sales department to showcase our portfolio to an even broader market. It will enable us, as a company, to develop much closer relationships with our existing client base and as well as help us continue to grow and establish new ones.”

The Fremantle Archive Sales is available at www.fremantlearchivesales.com and will also be linked to FremantleMedia’s corporate website, www.fremantlemedia.com.
