MTV International
Brand/Rebrand: MTV International 07.16.2015 In 1987, Sting sang the iconic words "I want my MTV" on the Dire Straits single "Money for Nothing." Now, nearly 30 years later, he can finally have it, thanks to an MTV International rebrand that hands a healthy portion of its channels' on-air real estate over to the viewers. Unofficially dubbed "I am my TV," the flashy centerpiece of the new MTVI is #MTVBump, an online platform that lets viewers upload their own videos to be considered as idents, or by submitting them through Instagram and Vine using the aforementioned hashtag. At the same time, the Viacom network has provided each of the regions across the 160+ countries in which it resides with a digital toolkit packed with hundreds of lo-fi-yet-chic animated backgrounds and 3D animated objects, then given them free reign to combine them at will. The goal, said Sean Saylor, VP of creative at MTV International, was "for it to feel fun" for each region to implement the new assets, "to mix and match them as much as they want and to make them feel unique and relevant to their audienceâ€¦ It's coming from the same direction aesthetically but it always looks a little different." MTVI has always packed its airwaves with imaginative design elements (a fresh new slate of its legendary Art Breaks also populate the rebrand), creating what is at least the illusion of an anything-goes aesthetic well-suited to its audience. But this new amalgamation of user-generated content and local in-house creative independence makes the illusion a reality - the brand is ceding control of its airwaves to a degree unprecedented in linear television, giving literally anyone in the world the chance to help dictate its look and feel.
