NRTC looks to agency to develop brand identity elements for its OTTerTV service
BALTIMORE, MD, November 5, 2015—It was announced today by Cory Farrugia, president, that Channel has been awarded the assignment for designing brand identity elements for an Over-The-Top (OTT) video service developed by longtime client National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC).
OTTerTV, as the service will be called, enables rural telcos to offer highly competitive packages, in terms of desirability and cost, of video programming and content to members. This content can be viewed over a broadband connection on laptops, smart TV’s, phones, and tablets.
“Many viewers today are using alternative TV options versus their cable and satellite TV providers,” said Farrugia. “OTTerTV is a service that enables people to access the TV shows and movies they want without a costly cable subscription that often bundles channels and content that they don’t want. OTTerTV also includes local channels in its packages, along with popular national networks.”
The assignment for OTTerTV includes the development of a logo, tagline, app button, and a brand style guide. The launch of OTTerTV is tentatively scheduled for mid-January 2016.
