Eclair, a leader in content services for
the motion picture and television industries (Ymagis
Group – ISIN: FR0011471291, MAGIS, PEA-PME, TECH 40), today announced the
appointment of Andreas Peltret as its new Country Manager for Germany effective
immediately.
He is responsible for managing Eclair's content services in
Germany, including theatrical delivery, digital distribution, preservation,
postproduction, restoration, as well as versioning & accessibility through
its Berlin-based Eclair Studios (Christa Kistner Synchronproduktion) and Studio
7 Synchron und Untertitel in Karlsruhe, and exhibitor services with

Mogavero.
With over 15
years’ experience in international business development and advertising, Andreas
Peltret started his career in the entertainment and gaming industry in 2003 as
co-founder of German online game magazine GameVision GbR, which became
OnlineWelten.com following its 2006 merger with OnlineWelten Network GmbH. In
2008, he joined Gameforge AG, one of the first free-to-play online game
platforms in Europe, where he successively held the roles of Director of Sales &
Partnerships and Director of Business Development. He then moved into digital marketing
and integrated advertising campaigns for the gaming
industry in 2013, working as Head of Advertiser Business Development for Crobo,
a data-driven mobile marketing company specialized in digital marketing
solutions for mobile apps and games, before being named Chief Commercial Officer
at European Games Group AG in 2014. Prior to joining Eclair, Peltret was most
recently International Business Development Director for cross-media marketing agency
DCMN GmbH.
“We are very
pleased to have Andreas Peltret join us to manage Eclair’s German operations,”
said Pascal Mogavero. “Andreas’ expertise in digital and high-end technologies,
and his passion for growth strategy and leadership, will be a tremendous asset in
increasing business momentum across the board for our wide range of services in
Germany. His international business development experience will also help the
Eclair Management Committee accelerate synergies and collaboration between our various
local offices across Europe and in North America.”
“I am honored to
be part of such a dynamic organization as Eclair and delighted to be working
hand-in-hand with our expert teams in Berlin and Karlsruhe,” added Andreas
Peltret. “One of the many qualities that attracted me to Eclair is its dedication
to excellence & innovation. I am eager to utilize my own extensive digital
business experience and network to continue to build up this powerful brand in
Germany and help contribute to the company’s global success.”
Peltret’s
appointment follows the departure of Michael Krauth, who recently left his
executive functions by mutual agreement to pursue his own projects. Krauth
joined Ymagis Group in 2009 to create and oversee the development of Eclair’s activities
in Germany. “We’d like to thank Michael Krauth for his years of rich
collaboration and wish him all the best in his
new professional endeavors,” said Jean Mizrahi, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Ymagis Group.
