Nicola Soderlund – Managing Partner, Eccho Rights

Nicola has been in the television business for more that 30 years. Starting as a producer and director of rock videos and freelance production assistant, he worked his way up and became a producer at ground breaking production house Strix Television. In 1996 he started his own production company, Think Big Television with one of the most famous TV-presenters in Sweden. Think Big TV was an immediate success and was soon approached by buyers and the company was sold after only one year to Nordisk Film where Nicola became the MD. He stayed for seven years but had always the wish to explore the international side of the TV-business so his next project was Sparks Network, an exclusive association for the leading independent TV-production companies in the world. Nicola was the President at Sparks Network for 10 years. Sparks gradually moved over to distribution under a new brand – Eccho Rights.

At present Nicola is owner and Managing Partner of Eccho Rights, an independent rights management and distribution company with four international offices that specializes in packaging, financing and distribution of TV-drama from all over the world. Since December 2018 Eccho Rights is majority owned by CJ E&M.
