Telemundo partners with zeebox

April 25, 2013 by Veronica Villafañe

zeebox_telemundo2Telemundo Media is zeebox’s first Hispanic partner. zeebox, a social networking and social television platform available for mobile devices, provides contextual information second-by-second as people watch TV.

The partnership kicks off tonight with the 2013 “Latin Billboard Awards,” which will air at 7 pm ET/6pm CT.

Fans that download the free zeebox app will have access to exclusive second-screen experiences starting with the red carpet and continuing throughout the entire broadcast.

An image mosaic will present viewers with real time photos of celebrities as they walk the red carpet. Live zeetags within the show page will present users with music categories for finalists as they are being interviewed on TV and provide exclusive interviews from rehearsal week.

Fans will also be able to play the Prediction Game to guess which artists will win minutes prior to seeing the actual winner announced on-air.

Zeebox and Telemundo will also take viewers backstage featuring live streamed artist interviews.

The zeebox app allows Telemundo to engage its fans with synchronized zeetags which link to more content about what’s on TV at that moment.

These interactive features will also be used in the upcoming “2013 Miss Universe Pageant” and the Telemundo’s new series “La Voz Kids.”

The network will launch a bilingual mobile marketing campaign to drive awareness and participation for these new products.
