Jakob Mejlhede Andersen joined MTG in 2005 and has been Senior Vice President of Acquisitions & Programming for the last six years. He also became Chief Content Officer of the Group’s digital accelerator MTGx a year ago.

“MTG has a unique position in the industry as we operate across almost all on and offline content platforms, as well as across multiple territories. My role is to explore how we develop and utilize our world class content portfolio in as smart a way as possible, so that consumers enjoy the best experiences and are brought even closer to the entertainment that they love. We are constantly evolving and have the clear objective to be the leading digital entertainment house in each of our markets. My priority is clear – that the audience remains at the centre of every decision that we make.”

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, MTG Executive Vice President of
Programming & Content Development

“Content is king at MTG and Jakob has long been our king of content. Video viewing is increasingly digital, unscheduled and mobile so relevance is more than ever the name of the game, and that is about securing the best content available and delivering it to viewers in many different ways. Jakob is now therefore our Chief Story-sourcer and Story-teller, with a wide brief across MTG’s channels and services to work with our experienced teams to deliver the leading digital entertainment brands in each of our markets.”

Jørgen Madsen Lindemann, MTG President and CEO
