About Hype TV:
Conceived by founding directors, Bob Palmer and Dave Cook who
run an advertising creative consultancy, HYPtv is for a new
generation of 'evergreens' – people who are staying
younger longer – and for multi-tasking, ipod-listening, mobile
phone-texting, ubiquitous screen-gazing youth. A melting pot of
ideas, HYPtv is as much a culture as a broadcast channel, a
place where everyone – including brands and industry – can
mingle. This offers a unique opportunity for talent to air their
work to the people who matter in their field. www.hyptv.com
