View Our Full Roster →One Big Media operates under eMotion Studios — a global holding company with over 20 years of experience building and scaling companies at the intersection of technology, media, and the Creator Economy. From talent management and content distribution to audience monetization, the group has launched and operated ventures across four continents, shaping the digital media landscape worldwide.
Telemundo is not asking for a transformation. The RFP is explicit: a targeted strategic assessment, not a large-scale transformation engagement. Our methodology is built for that brief, focused, data-driven, and biased toward decisions Telemundo can act on within the first 60 days, not quarters.
The pillars are sequenced so earlier outputs feed later ones, portfolio architecture informs channel analysis, which informs content strategy, which informs monetization modeling.
What role should each channel play in the ecosystem, and where are we publishing the same thing twice?
We build a portfolio map plotting each channel on two axes, content specificity (anchor → IP-specific) and audience distinctness (shared → unique). Channels in the same quadrant are consolidation candidates; channels with high duplication but low audience overlap are repositioning candidates.
Which channels should be kept, consolidated, refocused, or sunset, and why?
Each channel gets a one-page scorecard across five dimensions: role clarity, audience distinctness, content uniqueness, monetization efficiency, and operational cost. Channels are then categorized into four action types, keep, refocus, consolidate, or sunset, with rationale and projected impact.
How should clips, Shorts, long-form, livestreams, English-language content, and creator-led programming be deployed across the portfolio?
We use a content-archetype framework (Hub, Help, Hero) to map which formats serve which strategic purpose on each channel. Findings from Pillars 1 and 2 set the channel roles; this pillar prescribes the format mix, the subtitled content strategy, the livestream architecture, and the creator and partnership model that serves each role, calibrated against monetization implications.
Publishing the same content across multiple channels differentiated only by subtitles creates audience fragmentation without guaranteed incremental value.
The assessment evaluates whether subtitle-based separation (English captions, dubbed versions, translated clips) builds a distinct audience or simply splits watch time that would otherwise consolidate.
Output: a clear per-channel recommendation, integrate or isolate, with the Telemundo English question as the lead case.
Telemundo has a deep bench of on-air talent. The assessment evaluates three questions:
Which channels share audience and which are distinct? Where is the same viewer being served the same content twice — and what does that imply for anchor vs. show/IP decisions?
We build an audience overlap heatmap across all 13 channels, then cluster channels by audience signature using 400+ CMS signals — far beyond what YouTube Studio exposes. Channels with highly similar signatures and overlapping content are top consolidation candidates. Channels with distinct audiences validate their independent role.
The output feeds directly back into the Pillar 1 portfolio map and the Pillar 2 channel scorecards — audience data either confirms or overrides structural recommendations made on editorial grounds alone.
Does consolidating watch time onto fewer channels increase revenue, and what cadence maximizes RPM and ad suitability per channel?
We model two to three revenue scenarios, a baseline (current state), a consolidation case (top recommendations applied), and a hybrid case. Each scenario quantifies projected watch time, revenue, and operational complexity reduction.
How do we prevent the portfolio from re-fragmenting, and how do we measure ongoing health?
We codify the decision criteria used throughout the engagement into a governance framework, a one-page set of rules for channel creation, consolidation, and sunset. The KPI framework defines leading and lagging indicators for portfolio health, with thresholds for escalation.
Two case studies directly comparable to the Telemundo brief. The first is inside the NBCUniversal family. The second is the closest operational analog to the portfolio consolidation question.
Same parent organization, NBCUniversal. Same diagnosis: premium editorial assets performing below their algorithmic potential. The same methodology, title protocols, metadata architecture, thumbnail standards, is proposed for Telemundo. The editorial doesn't change. The algorithm's read of it does.
Competitors defeated: Info Money, Exame, Market Makers, BM&C News, entrenched category leaders in Brazilian business journalism.
Direct analog of the consolidation-vs-fragmentation question at the core of the RFP. Itatiaia had one channel carrying news, sports, entertainment, and culture, structurally similar to overlapping content across multiple Telemundo channels.
Audience overlap analysis identified four distinct segments with materially different RPM profiles. The same instruments apply directly to the 13-channel Telemundo portfolio. The restructure paid back operationally inside two quarters.
Each phase produces a usable interim deliverable. Telemundo makes directional calls four times during the engagement, not at the very end.

Every deliverable in this engagement sits inside a five-layer architecture, ordered by what must exist before the next layer can produce results. Strategy before format. Format before monetization. Security across all of it.
Monthly engagement covering onboarding, full assessment delivery, and ongoing managed service across all 13 channels. One price from day one. No separate assessment fee.
Five inputs unlock Day 1. None of them require Telemundo to build anything new, all are data and access that already exist inside the organization. Phase 1 formalizes each requirement as part of the onboarding and data intake process.
All deliverables in this proposal are powered by One Big Media's CMS connection, 400+ metrics, Content ID, monetization engineering, and audience intelligence. If Telemundo wants One Big Media to manage the CMS directly, the fee shifts to a revenue-share model with a guaranteed floor. We earn more only when you earn more.
Based on our existing client portfolio, engagements at this scale achieve payback in 10–18 months as optimization recommendations take hold. Every percentage point of efficiency improvement on a $5.5M portfolio is worth $55,000 per year.
Base: $5.5M annual portfolio · $180K engagement cost · Audience growth estimated at 0.75× revenue lift
Payment tracks the four decision gates. Telemundo commits as direction is confirmed, not upfront. Four gate approvals before final delivery means Telemundo can course-correct or pause at four distinct points. The risk is bounded. The upside is asymmetric.
* Payback period based on average across existing One Big Media clients. Actual results depend on baseline channel performance, content strategy alignment, and implementation pace. Not a guarantee of results.
Each role maps directly to the RFP analytical scope. Supporting functions are included at no additional cost.
The methodology was developed inside the NBCUniversal family and produced category-leading results. The team runs YouTube every day, at scale, in the markets and languages that matter for the Telemundo portfolio.
