Case examples

Tech-savvy TV formats

Format development with a clever use of technology.

The Task:
Help a TV production company with limited resources to cut through the noise in the highly competitive market.

By focusing on interactivity and viewer engagement, we set on rethinking the creation process and managed to cut time-to-market by over 50%. As a result, TV formats were commissioned without pilots and optioned before the shows aired. One example of our tech pilots, TILT, a mixed reality game show shot with off-the-shelf VR equipment, was a global first. Joint project with Intervisio.

Top-notch sports broadcast

Find the perfect match.

Appointing a team of specialists, we created the production brief for a complex sports broadcast project, with hundreds of televised events and thousands of hours broadcast during a multi-year assignment.

Based on our in-depth knowledge, we created a comprehensive analysis criterion for the client to help them select the best partner for their flagship project.

Blockchain bangers

Web3 toolbox for the entertainment industry.

A forward-thinking record company wanted to reach out to its superfans and find new ones. We created a toolbox for their 360° presence in Web3 - an approach that can easily be applied to other forms of entertainment.

Elements include tokenized music assets, blockchain-only releases with automated royalty splits, digital merchandise, and real-life benefits only accessible with a digital VIP pass.
