Octopus Newsroom is making waves in Colombia! Our colleague Gianluca Bertuzzi recently visited broadcasters across the country, meeting with both long-time customers and new prospects, strengthening relationships, and showcasing the power of Octopus. 

Colombia, the land of El Dorado, has a rich history of gold mining. And just as gold is a symbol of value and excellence, Octopus is proving to be the golden standard for newsroom operations in the region. With its cutting-edge tools, Octopus empowers journalists to mine golden content efficiently, ensuring seamless storytelling and collaboration. 

Strength in the Market 

 The demand for smart, adaptable newsroom solutions is growing rapidly in Colombia. Our technology continues to be highly regarded, with a strong reputation among broadcasters looking to optimize their workflows. 

One key highlight from the visit was the rising interest in iReporter, our citizen and community journalism platform. With newsrooms looking for ways to engage audiences and source first-hand stories, iReporter presents a powerful solution for regional broadcasters. 

Key Meetings & Insights 

Teleantioquia – A Golden Standard in Regional TV 

A proud Octopus client for over four years, Teleantioquia remains highly satisfied with our system. During the visit, Gianluca introduced iReporter, which resonated well with their team. As a leading regional TV station, Teleantioquia serves as a strong reference for broadcasters across Colombia. 

 Telemedellín – A Spark of Interest 

Although not yet a client, Telemedellín showed significant interest in our solutions. The visit provided an excellent opportunity to introduce Octopus and explore how our tools could enhance their operations. 

Telepacífico – A Promising Connection 

Located in the Cali region, Telepacífico currently operates without an NRCS. Meetings with their News Director and Technical Director revealed strong interest in both Octopus and iReporter. With no existing system in place, Octopus could offer them a game-changing newsroom solution. 

Canal TRO – A Positive First Impression 

Like Telepacífico, Canal TRO does not currently use an NRCS. However, after an introduction to Octopus and iReporter, the response was overwhelmingly positive. Their team saw great potential in our solutions, reinforcing the growing demand for innovative newsroom technology in Colombia. 

Tele Islas – A New Project with La Curaçao 

We are excited to announce a new project with Tele Islas in collaboration with La Curaçao. This partnership marks another milestone for Octopus in Colombia, further expanding our footprint in the region and providing top-tier newsroom solutions to broadcasters. 

Red+ – A Trusted Partner in 24/7 News 

Red+, one of Colombia’s fast-paced, 24/7 news channels, relies on Octopus to streamline its newsroom operations. With our intuitive planning tools, their journalists stay focused on storytelling while seamlessly integrating with existing production systems. Red+ stands as a testament to the power of Octopus in high-pressure news environments. 

The Future Looks Golden 

Octopus Newsroom is gaining momentum in Colombia. The high level of interest from broadcasters confirms that our newsroom solutions, particularly iReporter, align perfectly with the needs of the industry. As we continue to mine golden content and forge strong partnerships, the future for Octopus in Colombia shines brighter than ever.
