The brief
Explain Orange TV’s set-top-box features in a way people would choose to watch.
Traditional tutorials were long, functional and easy to ignore. The proposal reframed the task: product education could still solve real questions, but the audience should receive a story—not a lecture.
Context
Real client proposal developed within Secuoya Content Group and presented to Orange TV in 2016.
My contribution
Content strategy, concept, copy, naming and format development.
Scope
Two creative routes, a repeatable series architecture, cast, episode ideas, platform logic and presentation.
Status
Pitch-stage work. No claim is made that the format was commissioned, produced or launched.
The strategic shift
From “How does it work?” to “What happens next?”
Humour became the engagement device. Each functionality was attached to a recognisable tension, so the feature arrived as the solution to a human moment.
Two creative routes
One brief. Two production models.
01
Catalogue-led promo / tutorial
Use the content people already love.
Recognisable moments from Orange TV series dramatise the frustration first; the platform feature then resolves it. For catch-up viewing, the line was: “We know what it is to miss a premiere. We have the solution.”
Short edit-led format
Subscriber education
Fast, scalable production
02
Original branded format
Build a family around the FAQs.
Family Questions turns recurring product questions into an episodic comedy. The characters want to watch together, but each feature, habit and disagreement creates the plot.

The format
A family to answer the whole family’s questions.
The strategic bridge was simple: television brings the family together; Orange brings them closer to what matters. Product functions become the engine of domestic comedy.
Recurring cast developed for the original Family Questions proposal.

Paula
The culture translator
An American-culture fan who turns every situation into English—and naturally introduces language settings.

Héctor
The multi-screen native
Always connected and apparently able to follow five screens at once. The family’s reluctant tech support.
SA

Sara
The series purist
A drama devotee prepared to defend the remote—and finish every season without spoilers.

Marcos
The analogue optimist
His love-hate relationship with technology becomes an excuse to spend more time with the family.
The episode engine
Every feature creates a story.
Six pilot plots showed that the idea could stretch across genres, product functions and family dynamics without repeating the same tutorial structure.

Orange is the New Family
The whole family wants the new season, but not everyone has caught up.

Set-top-box feature: language selection · 1’30”
On a Sunday afternoon, Paula is absorbed in her favourite series in its original English version. Her father changes the audio to Spanish; subtitles become the next battleground, and a simple setting turns into a family comedy.
PaulaDad, it’s the original version. It’s called audiovisual culture.
MarcosDoes “off” mean turned off or turned on?
PaulaDad, that means switch off the remote and leave me in peace.
Voice-overChanging the language has never been easier… if your family lets you, that is. Orange TV brings you closer to what matters to you.
This episode and its Runway frames are a later creative extension of the format. They were not part of the 2016 client presentation.
Why it mattered
Not six videos. A content system.
A repeatable branded-content universe rather than isolated help videos.
A format able to live on Orange TV, a microsite and social channels.
A recurring cast that makes product functions easier to remember.
A flexible platform for future services and connected-device stories.
