Case study company profiles

CulturePrint, Catarina Rocha, Inês Castanheira, and Isabel Rocha

We join different academic backgrounds - communication, production and arts - to transform three crossed ways in a small footprint of creativity. To connect communication with arts, to contaminate design with literary production, to mix literature with the Web seemed obvious. CULTUREPRINT recovers the cooperative concept tying spaces and creative people, drawing new nets and culture communication.

OSTV, João Vasconcelos

OSTV is an independent television project designed to cover a wider spectrum of cultural activity in Portugal, it is committed to promote and develop national talents and create new content formats. It is the first collaborative and interactive television cultural channel available on Cable, Internet and mobile.

Vice Portugal, Nuno Miranda and Sérgio Julião

VICE is a platform that shows the raw talent and idiosyncrasies that are a banner of our country and the world. We believe that no other publication has the ability to measure the pulse of society and expose its best and its worst so drastically or joyfully as ours has. We identify with the one-finger-salute attitude emerging from the five continents. Our team is a mix of young people with experience in various areas that the urban culture produces and sustains. We use creativity and transgression to punch moral concepts already out of date. We are Portuguese all the way. With balls. It is time for Portugal to have a rock and roll injection in the veins.
