Johannesburg/Munich, Jan 1, 2026 - IMC Strategy is delighted to announce a new cooperation with The Ergo Company, one of South Africa’s most distinctive and internationally recognised production companies.

Known for bold storytelling and outstanding craft, The Ergo Company is behind critically praised feature film Old Righteous Blues, the international Netflix hit-series Kings of Jo’Burg, and the innovating animated feature Headspace. Their work consistently bridges local authenticity with global appeal—an approach that closely aligns with IMC’s way of working.

This partnership brings together complementary perspectives from Europe and Africa, combining creative ambition with strategic clarity. Together, IMC Strategy and The Ergo Company will explore new opportunities at the intersection of content, markets, and audiences for projects with strong cultural resonance and international reach.

We look forward to shaping compelling stories and partnerships together.

Madrid, May 16, 2025 - IMC Strategy is pleased to announce its contribution to financing The Butler, the highly anticipated thriller directed by Tom Edmunds and starring Jean Reno, Tom Hollander, and Molly McCann, through a strategic presale to Mediaset Spain.
