Magnify Media is an independent distributor who works with rights owners to develop content and license rights to broadcasters and platforms on a global basis. We work across genres, searching out the most distinctive and compelling ideas. Our slate is carefully curated: we LOVE the content we are selling, and that passion comes through in the way that we sell.
Founded in 2015 by CEO Andrea Jackson, Magnify has built a reputation for distributing premium factual content such as Malika: The Lion Queen (FOX), My Unique B & B (BBC1), The Women of 9/11 (ABC), Britain By Beach (Channel 4) and stand-out formats such as Handmade: Good with Wood (Channel 4), Doctors Vs Internet (NRK), Fittest Family (RTÉ) and Love Raft (DR TV). The advantage of a highly curated catalogue means that we only bring quality to buyers, have the time to communicate effectively with our rights owners and are able to maximise exploitation of the rights we represent.
Buyers tell us that they are pleased to be working with an independent distributor that brings such distinctive and quality content and in the last year we have made sales to buyers including Netflix, Disney+, Discovery+, WDR, ARD, RTL, SVT, YLE, TV2 Denmark, Viasat World, SBS Broadcasting, Nippon TV, Mediawan, France Television, Ten Network, Foxtel, SBS, Nine Network, TVNZ, Blue Ant, Nat Geo, AMC, Sky Arts, RAI, BBC, Channel 5 and CCTV.
In 2020, global production company, Plimsoll Productions (Apple’s Tiny World, Netflix’s Animal), fully acquired Magnify Media. Magnify continues to operate as an independent business, but with increased resource and infrastructure as well as a pipeline of incredible Plimsoll-produced content that complements the prestige titles we represent for other producers and that helps Magnify to be one of the most dynamic distributors in the business.
We at NRK have had the pleasure of working together with Magnify Media for several productive years. They are passionate and professional, and care a lot for the titles they represent. We truly appreciate the work of the Magnify Media team, and look forward to continuing working together, - on many more titles to come!”
Åse Marie Bendiksen, Head Of International Distribution, NRK
Working with Magnify is so easy – they have a really strong slate and a world class team and we are thrilled with some of our recent acquisitions and we know our audiences will be too.

Seventh Art Productions has worked with multiple distributors - some have been good and some have been dreadful. Thus, I can tell you what a relief it is to have found and experienced Magnify. Andrea and her team are genuinely driven to maximise sales but in ways that are always in co-ordination with our broader goals and relationships. Communication is swift and clear. Decisions are prompt. Accounts are accurate and on time. An enthusiasm for our programmes, and indeed our company as a whole, are very apparent.
Phil Grabsky, Seventh Art Productions
Magnify Media is the perfect blend: the muscle of a major distributor with the heart of a boutique. The muscle comes from Andrea and her team’s vast experience across all types of TV distribution, with the heart coming from the simple fact that they possess real enthusiasm for what they are selling and have a genuine understanding of the realities and challenges that are part and parcel of modern day production, which from an indie point of view makes a huge difference. They also pay invoices really quickly, which makes us love them even more….we’re fickle like that. If only they were running Britain!
Darren Smith, MD, Kite Entertainment
Magnify are very professional, knowledgeable about the marketplace, and sensitive to their client's needs.
