Current TV



So THEE coolest, most innovative media today was introduced in lecture by Colin Decker, Creative Director for Current TV. Check it out: http://www.current.tv/

The skinny: Current TV is a network of national cable and satellite channels that airs segments that are viewer-created. Sounds like another popular site doesn't? Nope. Current TV is dedicated to ONLY smart, intelligent and cool "pods" or "v-cams." A pod is an informative/news segment. A v-cam is a viewer-created ad message. You will not find "random-ass shit" on Current TV. The company's mission is to give all those creative people in this world an outlet where they can get paid for their ideas. Once a pod or v-cam is uploaded to the site, registered users can participate and give it the Greenlight for future TV air. Once a video or ad receives enough Greenlights then it's up for brand grabs to buy or show interest in AND/OR go on Tv. HOW COOL IS THAT?!

All you creative friends, get on this now! Well-known brands like Toyota, Sony, T-mobile and Mountain Dew post Creative Briefs on the site and creative minds everywhere can go "apeshit" (new word from Aria). And get paid! Again, HOW COOL IS THAT?! Answer: so cool.

Some little facts to add:
  • Al Gore is the Chairman of Current TV.
  • Eight Miami Ad School student-created ads aired on TV to 40 million+ homes.
  • You have a 1 in 30 chance of getting a spot on TV.
  • Current TV is partnered with only the best, meaning the 15 largest advertisers in the world (as sponsors).
  • Current TV is 50,000 members strong.
Erin gives it a thumbs up.
