Heavy content focus at Rubberduck Media Lab - Vabø heads up new initiative
Rubberduck Media Lab, a subsidiary of Aspiro AB and Europe’s leading provider of streaming TV services announced it’s strengthening the Content team, hiring Linda Vabø as Head of Content from early December.
Vabø will be responsible for content strategy and content acquisition of live TV, loop channels and VOD clips. Vabø has extensive experience from content acquisition and content management within the Nordic territories, and has a background from Norwegian pay-tv operators RiksTV and Canal Digital, as well as public service broadcaster NRK.
"Rubberduck is an exciting award-winning company providing state-of-the-art multiscreen TV services. I look forward to taking on this new challenge and developing Rubberduck's content services even further. My ambition is to be the number one partner for mobile operators, broadcasters and content owners, enabling powerful combinations of great content and userfriendly applications on a wide range of screens", says Vabø.
Rubberduck Media Lab already partners with major content providers such as the BBC, CNN, Disney Channel and Turner and delivers tv services for leading Network Operators like Deutsche Telekom, Telenor and Hi3G.
