Why we built Simply.TV

2019 – The first leap

It all started with a simple and powerful belief: metadata should do more than organize content - it should bring it to life. The way people discover entertainment has fallen behind the way they consume it, and we saw an opportunity to change that.

At Simply.TV, we set out to redefine content discovery by making metadata dynamic, intuitive, and inspiring. What began as a mission to fix a fragmented system has evolved into something much bigger - a global effort to transform how audiences connect with the stories they love.

And this is just the beginning. With our deep industry expertise and relentless ambition, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in metadata. Where we take it next? That’s what drives us every day.
