Zoo 55 Partners With Merzigo
Zoo 55, part of ITV Studios, has announced a multi-year partnership with digital distribution and monetisation leader Merzigo, in a deal that supports Zoo 55's growth strategy and marks a strategically important UK expansion for Merzigo.
As Zoo 55 evolves, the partnership with Merzigo will allow their team to optimise a selection of channels from its iconic portfolio - including The Voice Global & The Best Of The Voice, Come Dine With Me and the multi-IP food channel Taste - adding to their reach and engagement across Facebook and YouTube.
The multi-year agreement will see Merzigo’s team use its global expertise to optimise content creation and unlock new revenue opportunities. With over 5,000 managed channels in 30+ languages and more than 13 billion monthly views, Merzigo's track record in social distribution uniquely positions it to enhance Zoo 55’s presence in the digital space.
The deal was brokered for Zoo 55 by Graham Haigh, COO and Sjoerd Reijans, Head of Digital Partnerships with Ceyda Sıla Çetinkaya, COO and Valerio Motti, MD EMEA at Merzigo.
Martin Trickey, Managing Director, Zoo 55 said: "This partnership is an important and exciting step for Zoo 55. Merzigo has a fantastic track record in optimising content and engaging with fans in fresh and exciting ways. We see this as an amazing growth opportunity for both parties."
Ceyda Sıla Çetinkaya, COO, Merzigo, added: "For Merzigo, this partnership represents a milestone in our expansion into the UK market. To do it with such a high-calibre group, like ITV Studios, makes it even more meaningful. It's an exciting time for both our teams, and we look forward to launching this project together and driving growth on a global scale."
Zoo 55 is ITV Studios' dedicated digital content label, launched in 2025 to take ITV Studio's digital business to new heights. Zoo 55 has 170+ owned and operated channels in the social space delivering over 10bn views in 2024, as well as 20 FAST channels on 100+ channel feeds globally. It harnesses over 95,000 hours of ITV Studios' catalogue to bring world-class entertainment to audiences everywhere.
