Amsterdam-based unscripted and scripted prodco Monday Media Netherlands has appointed Remco Lentjes as MD and promoted Chantal Labree to creative director.

Joining on October 1, Lentjes previously worked at Banijay’s Zodiak Nederland, Endemol Shine Group, RTL and ITV Studios. At the latter, he was responsible for the development and international sales of a wide range of formats that extended beyond the Dutch market.

Lentjes is the original creator of dating experiment format Twin Love, which was launched globally by Amazon’s Prime Video.

Labree was head of development at Monday Media, with credits including Het Roer Om (SBS6), Million Dollar Desert (Net5) and 112 Nieuwsjagers (Powned/NPO Start). As creative director, she will take on a broader role in the strategic and creative development of new formats and international collaborations.

Sander Emmering, CEO of Monday Media Benelux, said: “With Remco we are bringing on board an experienced programme-maker and creative mind. His international background and commercial vision make him the right person to shape the further growth of our company.

“At the same time, Chantal has grown into the creative heart of Monday. Her promotion is a logical step and a confirmation of the path we are on. Together, Remco and Chantal form a powerful duo.”
