The signing of the sought-after producer underlines Bacon’s ambition to further strengthen its position as one of Sweden’s top production companies.
Already one of the top production companies in the Swedish commercial market, through work for clients such as Volvo, ATG, Scania and SAS, Bacon is now strengthening its position in Sweden by appointing Mårten Melinder as Executive Producer in Stockholm.
Melinder joins after several years as a freelance producer, his résumé boasting high-profile campaigns like Volvo’s Moments That Never Happen and Little Things and Coach’s Explore Your Story.
“Mårten combines an elite producer profile with deep roots in the Swedish industry, and that’s exactly what we need for our ambitions in Stockholm. Sweden is already a core market for us. Now we want a stronger local presence, more Swedish directors, and an even stronger position here for our existing roster,” says Samuel Cantor, COO at Bacon.
Bacon has offices in Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo and works locally and internationally under shared management. Melinder will work closely with the wider Bacon organisation to build out the Stockholm office.
“After several years freelancing, this is a unique opportunity to step into an EP role at Bacon, with a team that ranks among the best in the world at its craft. There’s already a strong foundation in the Swedish market, and I look forward to giving the Stockholm office an even stronger identity,” says Melinder.
Bacon’s Swedish roster includes Cannes Lions Gold winners Andreas Nilsson and Jakob Marky, with more Swedish directors on the way.
