Fragrance house

Talpa Global

Talpa Global is a Netherlands-based global format-sales and distribution operation within Talpa, a content house focused on non-scripted entertainment rather than a fragrance brand. Founded by Dutch media entrepreneur John de Mol in 2004, Talpa’s creative identity centers on developing, producing, and internationally distributing formats, including The Voice, Big Brother, Deal or No Deal, and Fear Factor. In 2015, ITV acquired Talpa Media’s entertainment production and distribution business. After the ITV period, de Mol established a new company in 2020 comprising Talpa Entertainment Productions, Talpa Concepts, and Talpa Distribution for creative development, production, and international exploitation of content. On 25 September 2023, Talpa announced the transition to the name Talpa Studios, describing a model spanning format creation, production, and global distribution, distinct from the separately operating Talpa Network. Its international format model develops locally originated intellectual property for global travel through production, partnerships, and distribution.
