App success in Poland
We recently launched a fully re-skinned and localised version of our famous Got Talent app in Poland for their show ‘Mam Talent!’. The app numbers and engagement figures have been particularly impressive for the first two episodes and we are expecting further significant growth as the series progresses. TVN are making full use of the app’s […]
Let’s talk innovative new formats
Come and meet us at GEITF 2014 in Edinburgh. We’re the people behind this year’s official, interactive app that keeps you up-to-date with everything that’s going on.

Has paid voting had its day?
No broadcaster or talent show producer likes to shout it too loudly, but the number of people paying to vote for their favourite contestant on TV declines season by season.

This year, we’re going to Edinburgh as a major sponsor of the 2014 Guardian Edinburgh International Television Festival. We’ll be attending from the 21st to the 23rd of August, talking about our approach to developing new interactive TV formats and giving insights into second screen interaction around the biggest shows on TV.
Two years since our last post
We know, we know: two years is a long time between blog postings. We didn’t go away, we’ve just had a lot going on. And while many things have remained the same, a lot of new stuff has been happening too. So, the past two years in brief, we continue to develop the Tellybug app platform […]
Wait ages, and 3 arrive at once
No, not London buses (this time), but awards. Together with our partners at Fremantle and ITV we’ve been nominated for 3 awards. First up (winner announced on 28 June) is the New Media Age awards where we’ve been shortlisted in the “Best use of Mobile” category for the Rimmel/ITV branding of the X Factor app. […]
