Home Improvement and Lifestyle power couple Andy and Candis Meredith, Co-Founders of Home Love Network, earn recognition as digital pioneers for their hands-on content such as the widely-popular, interactive and immersive series "Win This House!" on Facebook's Watch
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Andy and Candis Meredith—former stars of the HGTV series Old Home Love—have been nominated for the 2018 Shorty Awards in recognition of the couple's breakout digital series, Win This House!. The Merediths are hopeful that the success of their highly interactive Facebook Watch show, where viewers played an active role the real-life renovation process of a historic home that they gave away, will propel voters to put them on top on February 22nd when voting closes and the winners of the 10th annual awards are selected.
The Merediths, who served both as hosts and executive producers of Win this House!, are also co-founders of Home Love Network, a new digital media company bringing home improvement and lifestyle content to the digital age.
"Our vision in creating this company was and is to bring premium, episodic home improvement and lifestyle content to digital audiences, and to create a new kind of 'hands-on' experience where fans play an active role in the process. This nomination is thrilling, because it serves as further verification that people are actively looking for this kind of content. In producing this new type of interactive, real-time experience, we've discovered that there's an amazing energy and fan engagement that results from our experiencing this journey together. It can't be duplicated any other way," said Candis Meredith, Co-Founder of Home Love Network.
Andy, Candis and the Home Love Network team managed an unheard-of production and home renovation schedule with Win this House!, featuring three new episodes a week—two of them live—along with a full-scale renovation, all in real-time. Such a feat has never before been attempted or executed by any other network or production company.
Through Home Love Network—a new media company with a focused, disruptive vision to translate beloved, traditionally TV-based home and lifestyle content to the cord-cutting generation—the couple is expanding their content offering with more than nineteen original series in development, ranging from full scale remodels to food and travel. The company will be launching two new series on Facebook Watch soon, one featuring a 20,000 sq.ft. historic school building dream home renovation, and the second a fairy-tale castle restoration in France.
