Media & Entertainment (Intranet)
Overview
- A video hero section that opens with a message from the CEO, so leadership sets the tone the moment the page loads instead of burying it in an email.
- A Company News section carrying release announcements, subscriber and audience milestones, new facility openings, and open calls for company grant and development programs.
- A Countdown Timer paired with an Events list, counting down to the next big premiere while listing employee screenings, launch watch parties, global town halls, and new hire studio lot tours.
- A tile row for the tools people open every day – production schedule, rights and clearances, screening room, travel and expense, brand and press kits, and the IT help desk.
- An Explore Our Divisions tile row that routes employees to Film and Television, Streaming, Music and Audio, Publishing and Licensing, Marketing and Publicity, and Studio Operations.
- An Employee Spotlight section that puts a name and a face to the crew behind the work, celebrating people whose contribution usually scrolls past in the credits.
- World Clock and Weather sections for global offices and studio lots, an On the Lot photo gallery, and a Submit a Pitch call to action for anyone with a story idea.
Benefits
- Gives a workforce split across sound stages, edit bays, and offices a single, consistent starting point instead of a scatter of emails and group chats.
- Puts release dates, premieres, and launch milestones in front of everyone at once, so marketing, publicity, and production are all working from the same calendar.
- Cuts the daily hunt for production schedules, clearance forms, and brand assets down to a single click from the homepage.
- Helps employees see the whole company, not just their own division, which makes cross-division collaboration far more likely.
- Builds culture on the page itself, with crew members celebrated and photos from the lot showing the work in progress.
- Keeps global teams aware of each other’s working hours before they schedule a call or expect a same-day answer.
- Runs entirely on standard SharePoint, so it stays fast, secure, and easy for a small communications team to keep current.
Common Questions About This Media and Entertainment Intranet
What is this media and entertainment intranet built with?
It is built entirely with standard SharePoint web parts – Video, News, Countdown Timer, Events, Text, World Clock, Weather, and Image Gallery – finished with a custom theme and custom fonts. There is no custom code and there are no third-party tools involved. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet homepage Greg Zelfond builds for media and entertainment companies.
What is included on the media and entertainment intranet homepage?
The homepage opens with a CEO video message, then moves through company news, a countdown to the next premiere, upcoming events, tiles for production and business tools, and tiles for each division. Below that sit an employee spotlight story, world clocks and weather for global offices, an On the Lot photo gallery, and a Submit a Pitch call to action.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Everything on this intranet homepage is standard SharePoint, configured and styled rather than developed. That matters because an out-of-the-box design stays stable, secure, and maintainable, and nothing breaks when Microsoft ships an update. It also means an internal communications team can keep the page current without a developer. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds.
Can this design be customized for our studio or media company?
Absolutely. The theme colors, fonts, header, news topics, division tiles, quick links, event types, and office locations are all tailored to the organization. Greg adapts the layout to the way a specific company works – a streaming service, a record label, a publisher, or a full studio – so the sections match the teams, titles, and tools that people there actually use.
Will this intranet homepage work on mobile devices?
Yes. Because it is built with standard SharePoint web parts and flexible sections, the homepage reflows automatically on phones and tablets and works in the SharePoint mobile app. That matters in this industry, where a large share of the workforce is on a set, on a lot, or on the road rather than at a desk, and still needs the same news, schedules, and links.
Can Greg build this media and entertainment intranet for our company?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranet homepages like this one for organizations that want something polished without custom development. He handles the design, the structure, and the rollout, and trains the team to maintain it. Reach out through the contact page to start the conversation.
