CTC Media

Transmedia for a TV network
Loading video 0%

As a transmedia producer at CTC Media, I developed new advertising and marketing formats for the holding's TV channels. Over three years I delivered dozens of digital projects that strengthened the company's position as a technology-forward, modern TV holding. The key achievement was the mobile app "CTC Second Screen" — one of the world's first products for syncing digital and TV content.

Role
  • Second Screen app: concept development, content creation, and production coordination.

Scope of Work

A comprehensive transformation of CTC Media’s image through innovative formats of audience engagement. Projects covered:

  • digital promotion of the channel’s top-rated series — “Kitchen,” “Londongrad,” “The Youngsters”

My Role

The full cycle of creating digital projects — from concept to execution. Working with commercial briefs from partners, creative brainstorms, and presentations for clients and management. Creating concepts and content for commercial digital projects with leading brands, adapted for television audiences. Developing promotion strategies for the channel’s top series in the digital environment.

The key project was the “CTC Second Screen” app — a product that, like Shazam, synced with TV programs via audio signal and worked as a “broadcast companion.” I was responsible for concept creation and coordinating content development: app functionality, interaction principles with the broadcast, user experience, integration of commercial opportunities, and additional content synced with programs.

Result

The delivered projects lifted the ratings of the company’s television products, brought new viewers to the screens and new clients to the partners. The “CTC Second Screen” app received international recognition, including coverage in global media. CTC Media solidified its reputation as a technology-forward holding.
