"If you have an idea, let’s collaborate,” said Lopez at the last day of the 7th Internet and Mobile Marketing Summit. In his keynote presentation titled “Insights About Innovation: Online and Offline Synergies”, he pointed out the network’s plan to reproduce video-sharing website YouTube’s project that funded original channels for celebrities, online video creators, and Hollywood studios.
“You only need passion and your idea. We want ideas that are different, that can be compelling, and that can lead to significant views,” added Lopez. ABS-CBN will choose five or more ideas for online content that will be produced for the online platform such as iWant TV and YouTube channels. Submissions can be sent to collabstudio@abs-cbn.com. Lopez advises that the suggestions should not only limit to teleseryes – the more ideas you send the more chances of winning.
ABS-CBN aims to make the network’s broad online presence and reach more meaningful. It’s online properties, including video-streaming website iWant TV and its various YouTube channels now have an approximate 100 million views per month.
“Our feeling is that the digital era is really the great equalizer. You are at par with any studio, any network, any movie company. You only need passion and your idea. I think it is passion that will drive the new digital era. We want your ideas and we’re willing to work with you. If you have an idea that defines who you are in this planet, we want to hear it,” addded Lopez.
