The Dubs marks nine years as The X Factor’s digital partner

The Dubs is proud of its association with The X Factor and has recently rolled out the 2012 website for FremantleMedia, working closely also with ITV.

For the last 9 years, The Dubs’ proprietary CMS has underpinned the digital experience and provided The X Factor’s production team with a simple and fast, multi-platform, content-publishing solution – able to withstand the stampede of millions of concurrent site visitors!

Good luck to our client and here’s to another great year.

Superstar’ is a brand new nationwide talent search led by Andrew Lloyd Webber looking for a rock superstar to play the title role of Jesus.

The winner’s life-changing prize will be the leading role in the UK’s first ever arena tour of the legendary rock classic Jesus Christ Superstar that will open
at London’s O2 arena on 21 September.

The Dubs is delighted to be the group powering the website via it’s own proprietary Content Management System and wishes ITV the very best of luck with the show.

The red button is simply not sexy. It’s not slutty like the web or mobile, it’s just a simple button that loads stuff over programming. But simple isn’t sexy in broadcast because it doesn’t get noticed“.
