How we develop, finance & distribute projects
Vuguru finds and develops breakthrough creative ideas from up-and-coming and established talent and provides 100% equity financing to enable the production of premium scripted programming that can be distributed in “chapters”, ideally suited to a digital viewing experience. Vuguru works with distributors across the globe to launch properties across multiple viewing platforms.
The company is scaling production levels to become a prolific independent studio with a consistent supply of programming for its brand and distribution partners.
Creatives
As a multi-platform studio, Vuguru offers alternatives for creators, writers and filmmakers from the worlds of film, TV and publishing. Vuguru's creative-first approach coupled with its ability to provide 100% self-financing enables the seasoned creative team to find great ideas and greenlight them. Instead of projects languishing in development for months, even years, Vuguru has the ability to go from deal to release in less than a year.
Distributors
Vuguru pairs high-quality programming with multi-platform distribution to reach target audiences.
In the U.S., Vuguru establishes strategic partnerships with distributors for exhibition of its projects across online, mobile and traditional media (e.g. TV, VOD & Home Video). Vuguru premieres projects online with a dedicated launch partner for an exclusive window before hyper-syndicating content through its online and mobile distribution networks. Past collaborations have included Prom Queen (MySpace and Verizon); The All-For-Nots (Bebo, HDNet and Verizon); and Back on Topps (Fox Sports and MobiTV). Vuguru recently announced a licensing & distribution deal with AOL for six projects.
Internationally, Vuguru programming has been distributed in over 40 countries worldwide. The company recently structured a sales & distribution deal with Content Media Corp. (formerly known as Fireworks International) for its upcoming programming slate. As an example of the strong appetite from international distributors for multi-platform content, Fox International Channels recently licensed the rights to Vuguru’s upcoming series The Booth at the End for distribution across its entire international pay-TV channel network and related online networks.
Advertisers
Vuguru brings premium content opportunities to advertisers that enable them to connect to target audiences with multiple levels of engagement, including sponsorship, integration, placement & media.
Vuguru, in conjunction with its network of distribution partners, creates co-marketing opportunities and media plans appropriate to each project and the associated campaign goals of its brand partners.
