Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific announced a partnership with digital entertainment platform POPS Worldwide, which will see the two parties collaborating on the development of original content for Her Voice, the destination channel for digitally-connected women in Vietnam that aims to inspire, inform and entertain. Discovery is the first international broadcaster to partner with POPS Worldwide to create original content for the Vietnam market. The collaboration also includes distribution, branded content sales and promotional partnerships.

Her Voice, which is available on YouTube to viewers in Vietnam, boasts an engaging selection of scripted and non-scripted programmes – from food, fashion and travel, to beauty, wellness, and lifestyle challenges.

The content will be accessible across digital platforms including desktop, tablet, mobile, apps and connected TVs, and promoted across the POPS multi-platform content network.

“We are delighted to partner with POPS Worldwide, the leading digital entertainment platform, to bring our TLC premium and original content to audiences in Vietnam”, said Louis Boswell, General Manager, Discovery Southeast Asia. “Discovery is known for our innovative and immersive storytelling, and we have an extensive library with themes and stories that resonate internationally.
