Bondi Vet Digital Universe
Bondi Vet is one of the world’s most popular digital channels for pet and vet content.
The series, which started life on network television, is now a digital content juggernaut with over 4 million subscribers across the likes of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Snap, and driving up to 100m views each month.
As well as traditional AVOD channels, Bondi Vet now has a FAST (Free Advertiser Supported Television) on a range of global platforms including Samsung TV Plus, LG, VIDAA, Freevee and Rakuten.
Radar MCN General Manager Derek Dyson said, “Bondi Vet is our network’s star performer. There is an insatiable appetite for pet and animal content globally, and we’ve build a model that allows us to continually feed that demand.”
“Bondi Vet started as a TV series but it is now very much a content universe. While audiences still enjoy looking back on the classic TV series, the fact that we can offer them original content every week is a real plus for them. It means we can keep growing and add new fans,” he added.
Oceanliner Designs
Oceanliner Designs is one of YouTube’s fastest growing history channels.
Radar MCN partnered with founder and host Michael Brady in 2022 with the goal of rapidly growing audiences and revenues on the YouTube channel.
The channel has now reached over 100,000 subscribers, reaching Silver Play Button status on YouTube, and has seen revenues increase exponentially.
Plans are now in place to expand the reach of Oceanliner Designs on other social platforms including Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok.
Radar MCN General Manager Derek Dyson said, “The partnership with Oceanliner Designs was a no brainer for us. It had huge potential when we started and Michael had already done a great job building the brand. The main blocker for grow was simply the volume of content that one person could create, so with extra resources in place, we’ve achieved exceptional growth”.
Michael Brady said: “The project has come such a long way since I started it as a hobby in lockdown. With the support of Radar MCN we’ve managed to increase output and they’ve managed to bring a lot of detailed strategy into the mix as well. It’s been a brilliant partnership for Oceanliner Designs.”
Radar MCN is partnered with Never Too Small, one of Australia’s most successful digital content brands.
The content, which focuses on tiny and micro apartments, studios and self-contained projects, has already attracted over 2m subscribers on YouTube, and is set to launch new channels with the support of Radar MCN.
New channels will be launched on Facebook and Snap in 2023 with the aim of reaching new audiences and developing new AVOD revenue streams.
Radar MCN General Manager Derek Dyson said, “We’re delighted to have Never Too Small on board. They have done a fantastic job growing a premium, thriving video brand on YouTube, and we’re excited to be able to create a new army of fans for their existing and ongoing content catalogue”.
