Vinted Launches Pan-European Branded Entertainment Series 'Live Better for Less'
Vinted, the secondhand marketplace, has launched a new branded entertainment series titled 'Live Better for Less,' designed to reposition the platform beyond fashion and into a broader lifestyle destination. The series follows real people in seven European countries as they declutter and transform their homes, guided by local hosts. Each 24-minute episode uses a shared pool of contributor stories, localized for each market. Notably, Vinted employs AI voice synthesis and lip-sync technology from Adapt to localize content in the UK, France, Germany, and Spain, while other markets handle dubbing themselves. The series launches in September 2026 on Prime Video and various broadcasters. Created with WPP Media and produced by Electric Robin (Banijay Entertainment), the initiative aims to make secondhand selling aspirational and culturally relevant across Europe.
Vinted's branded entertainment series showcases a significant investment in content marketing and AI-driven localization, relevant to advertisers and media planners, though not a major industry shift.
