International player with local connection

Discovery networks has access not only to the international Discovery channels but also a lot of local channels and TV personalities. To positioning Dplay, we want to use these TV profiles as ambassadors to create a connection to the viewer in every local market that Dplay exists in. Dplay currently exists in 5 European countries.

Design language

The Dplay experience is designed to evolve around the user. Customized catalogs with recommendation based on the user are combined with editional content where the local market can push their one premiers, sport events, etc.

Dplay is using a colour coding system to communicate what the user can expect of the user interface. White – indicates a “Lean forward” mode, explore videos and serie. While black – says “Lean back”, just sit back enjoy the series you found.
