ZDF Mediathek

Description

Our holistic concept for the new ZDF Mediathek bridges the gap between linear and non-linear TV, progressively incorporating innovations such as on-demand content and personalization, as well as transmedia formats and social media. It helps ZDF hold its own against video-on-demand portals and other broadcasters in this market. The concept strengthens all the aspects that ZDF has traditionally stood for as a brand and an institution: classic TV and the unifying experience of viewing programmes.

Statement of the jury

The ZDF Mediathek excels thanks to its uncomplicated access, and pleasantly clear, streamlined design, making the overall use very customer friendly. This addition to public-service TV programming is as attractive as it is useful and current.
