It’s a shift in how we consume reality entertainment—a move that promises excitement and innovation.
The decision to dive into the digital realm stems from a simple yet powerful observation: kids creating content from their bedrooms have captured hearts and screens worldwide. Inspired by this trend, Endemol Shine Australia is set to revolutionize the online viewing experience with Resay – its innovative distribution platform for YouTube originals.
In an exclusive chat with Amelia Fisk, Director of Endemol Shine Australia, she shared insights into this groundbreaking step.
“We’ve witnessed the transformative influence of YouTube on the entertainment landscape,”
Fisk revealed.
“Our belief in crafting dynamic and engaging content for this platform paves the way for an exhilarating future.”
As a subsidiary of Banijay Group, a global force in television production spanning 23 countries through 130 companies, Endemol Shine Australia holds a rich legacy of delivering captivating shows across networks like Nine, Channel 7, Network 10, and ABC. Now, they’re gearing up to captivate audiences on a whole new stage—YouTube.
“We aren’t replacing our existing fan-favorites on television; rather, we aim to offer something fresh and distinctive on YouTube,”
explained Ms. Fisk in an interview with The Australian. This strategic move aligns with Endemol’s commitment to evolving storytelling techniques while staying true to its core values of creativity and excellence.
YouTube’s prominence as the world’s second-largest media entity cannot be understated. Ms. Fisk emphasized this point saying that tapping into this vast audience presents an unparalleled opportunity for growth and exploration in content creation.
Venturing beyond traditional formats is not unfamiliar territory for these trailblazers in entertainment production who have earned international acclaim for their award-winning shows. The decision to experiment with direct-to-consumer content reflects their willingness to embrace change and cater to evolving viewer preferences.
