OSN wins industry honours for tech innovation, creativity and CSR

OSN, the region’s leading pay-TV network, has won top industry honours for its path-breaking technology innovations, creative print campaign strategy and its focus on promoting community initiatives that make a positive difference.

At the Digital Studio Middle East Awards held in Dubai, OSN won two prestigious awards: Content Delivery Platform of the Year for Go, a game changing contract-free online TV service that offers subscribers thousands of hours of premium entertainment; and Satellite Services Innovation of the Year.

The Digital Studio Middle East Awards, now in its 11th year, recognises excellence in the production and broadcast industry and is one of the key honours evaluated by senior executives in the region’s TV and film production industry.

OSN’s creative approach to engaging with multiple stakeholders was recognised at the Dubai Lynx Awards 2015, where its ‘Live More’ CSR campaign to encourage healthier lifestyles, won a Bronze for ‘Corporate Image and Information.’

OSN’s creative advertising print campaign for the last and final chapter of Hareem Al Sultan, the critically-acclaimed and popular Turkish series, also won a Bronze at Dubai Lynx 2015 for ‘Best Use of Print.’

David Butorac, CEO of OSN, said: “The recognitions for OSN, especially from our industry peers, highlight our commitment to promoting a culture of innovation and creativity across our operations. Focused on creating added value to our subscribers and to making a positive difference to their lives, OSN will continue to invest in innovative technology and build on our community engagement initiatives as we expand our footprint across the region.”

Go, an online TV service, launched last year, has evolved as one of the preferred destinations for online TV content in a short span of time. For only US$10 per month, subscribers can enjoy Hollywood blockbusters, critically-acclaimed Arabic productions, award-winning TV series and popular kids content, contract and commitment-free, in just a few clicks. 

Live More, OSN’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, launched in January 2014, aims to raise awareness on the importance of a leading a well-balanced lifestyle and how simple day-to-day changes can make a big difference to people’s overall health and wellbeing.
