In 1994, we began producing television with one objective in mind: to create shows that we would enjoy watching as viewers. Over 15 years later, our programs continue to maintain that goal… projects infused with comedy, emotion and a strong p.o.v.
As founders and Co-CEOs, we’re clearly focused on creating shows specific to a network’s brand and attitude. By developing multi-platform programs, our shows go beyond the television screen to become brands… in the US and around the world.
In 2008, ZOO Productions was acquired by ALL3MEDIA, a global television production and distribution company based in the United Kingdom. ALL3MEDIA is comprised of television, film and new media production companies from across the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, the USA, and an International distribution arm. All combined, ALL3MEDIA sells more than 5,000 hours of programming annually.
In 2010, we earned an Emmy Nomination for ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? and made the Hollywood Reporter’s 2010 Reality Power List—which we made again in 2011 (and moved up the ladder!). 2011 was the year we syndicated Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and introduced PrankStars, It’s Worth What?, Lingo and Celebrity Treasure Hunt.
We welcome 2012 with new shows (“Buck Wild” on MTV, “World’s Worst Tenants” on Spike and “Are You Normal?” on OWN) as well as projects in production at NBC, Disney Channel, Spike, Lifetime, CMT, MTV and GSN. Needless to say, we look forward to an exciting 2012.
