Cologne, 4 Dec 2014 – Elmar Krick recently became the newest member of the board of Eyes & Ears of Europe. The marketing & creative director at UNIVERSAL NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL was elected to this position at the annual general meeting in late November. 

“The revolution has already taken place: Television content is being consumed through the various media channels as a matter of course. People are no longer discussing issues like linear or non-linear, on-air or online, mobile or stationary. Now, the issue is: Is my brand recognizable across all channels? How can I reach my viewers regardless of end device? In this context, the cross-media branding of content plays a decisive role.”

Elmar Krick has been employed at UNIVERSAL NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL since 2005. As marketing & creative director, he is responsible for the on-air design and marketing appearance of all UNIVERSAL NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL broadcasts in Germany. Krick and his team have won numerous prizes at national and international festivals and creative competitions. His professional background also includes the Walt Disney Company (Germany) and PLAZAMEDIA as well as KEYS, a journal to which he contributed decisively as deputy chief editor. Krick studied music at the Robert Schumann University in Dusseldorf and graduated as an engineer in the field of audio and imaging technique.

“I am very happy that Elmar Krick will support our association. He will enrich our board through his strategic and creative know how and his experience at an international pay-TV channel”, says Corinna Kamphausen, CEO of Eyes & Ears of Europe.”

In addition to Krick, the board currently consists of the following members:

President: Zeljko Karajica, CEO ProSiebenSat.1 TV Deutschland Department Business Development, Unterföhring
