The Lab


What is the Lab?  
RTÉ established The Lab in 2019 to create and commission innovative and engaging original video content for RTÉ Player.

Who are we?  
The Lab is a multidisciplinary creative team within RTÉ Player with a wide range of experience in TV and Online. Our skills range from production, direction, development and commissioning to multimedia editing, social media campaign creation and digital design.  

What do we do?  
We produce and commission original content for online. While a lot of our content is produced in-house by The Lab Team, we also commission a handful of independent productions each year. All content currently created or commissioned by The Lab is aimed at the 18-44 audience with a focus on the core target audience of 18-30.   

What do we want?  
We want fresh, original ideas and formats that are created specifically for an online platform and audience with new and upcoming creators and makers.
