A Turkish TV Giant Finds New Life Online: The Story of ATV's 'Sevdam Alabora'

Client Spotlight:

ATV, a Turkish television powerhouse established in 1993 and boasting a 12.6% audience share, has a long history of producing high-budget, memorable series. But even for ATV, success wasn't guaranteed. In 2015, their series "Sevdam Alabora" met an unfortunate early end, lasting only 4 episodes (8 hours in total).

Yet, what was seemingly a television flop found unexpected redemption during the COVID-19 pandemic. Uploaded to YouTube, "Sevdam Alabora" unexpectedly exploded in popularity, captivating audiences with its story.
