MANAGING PARTNER

Martyn Bernard William Nieman went to The School of Journalism in 1989 with the idea to become a TV producer and later executive TV producer.

My first job was in 1993, working for Forza TV at the AVRO (a Dutch Broadcaster) but still in school but managed to finish it in 1994.

After working for one and a halve years at HAN PEEKEL PRODUCTIONS as an editor for a German TV show “COMIX” and the Dutch kids show “WORDT VERVOLGD” (“TO BE CONTINUED”) he directed his first show in the year 1996 Bert’s Yellow Cab. 

The show became a success and was sold to Germany (RTL+) and Italy (Mediaset). 

• Both stations wanted him to be involved in their shows, so I had to leave Holland for a while.

Was asked to be the host on TV for KINDERNET Television (KIDS NETWORK) in KINNO KIEPERT and THE FLIPPO FINISH SHOW.

He didn’t like the fame so stopped hosting and concentrated on producing, directing, developing, and styling new television shows and ideas.

In ’98 and ‘99 I attended FOX Television in the Netherlands because they were needed some of my expertise.

I was asked in 2000 to developed and produced a new Kids show for FOX Television and came up with a concept “FOX KIDS HANG OUT”, a daily show on FOX KIDS and was running 2 years on television.

The KUNSTHUIS (Arthouse Museum) in Rotterdam asked me in 2000 to make a short documentary about “BLACK FOOT INDIANS” in Canada and the North part of the United States.  It became a fantastic 4D experience in their museum.

In 2001 they had asked me for a Dutch tv-show THE DIGTAL REVOLUTION what we have been shooting in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley.

In 2002 he was hired by Holland Media House to direct several hit shows: “THE BAR”,  “IDOLS” (4 TV seasons) also “THE BACHELOR”, “THE FARM” (reality show recorded in South Africa) and “X-FACTOR”.

In 2008 was asked and attended SBS 6 Television on the first 2 seasons of “POPSTARS.” and directed an episode of the successful TV show “MEMORIES “in Costa Rica.

In 2009 JOHN DE MOL and his company TALPA asked me to develop a new project what was called “THE VOICE” and for the first time produced and broadcasted in the Netherlands in 2010.  For 11 seasons, 2 spinoffs “VOICE KIDS” (9 seasons) and “VOICE SENIOR” (3 seasons) and won lots of TV awards with that shows.

In 2015 I became business partner in VIVA CANAL, LLC in Miami Florida, this for development new TV formats and ideas.

In 2021 I was honored to be working on this huge production this famous yearly television show is broadcasted all over Europe and in Australia called: “EUROVISION SONGCONTEST” broadcasted from the city Rotterdam.
