Uwe Esser, authorised signatory and Managing Director TV at marketer ARD MEDIA, is leaving the company after 24 years. The reason for this is the structural reorganisation of the company, which was initiated a year ago as part of a major personnel and structural reorganisation and will be completed in the course of this year. "You should leave when it's at its best. There is a lot of truth in that sentence. An impressive revenue performance in an increasingly pressurised TV market with an extraordinarily successful TV sports year in 2024 is a good end to my time at ARD MEDIA. I am proud of my team and wish the company all the best for the future," explains Uwe Esser.
"Uwe Esser has left his mark on both the company and the industry and has shaped ARD MEDIA's reputation as a strong, reliable and dynamic marketer. His broad network of contacts with advertisers and agencies has helped to secure a strong foundation for earnings, even in difficult economic times. We would like to thank him for his valuable contribution to the development and economic success of ARD MEDIA GmbH and wish him all the best for the future," explains Ralf Hape, CEO of the company.
