Pepper Media was set up early last month by the founding team of iStream.com, a video-on-demand platform that was closed down last year. The new venture brings together content creators, producers and brands to the network in order to build sustainable and monetisable global audiences. Pepper Media is currently creating branded channels with celebrities along with building a community of content creators, who could become YouTube stars in the future.

The firm aims to build a 1,000 strong content creator network over the next 12 to 18 months and is targeting a billion video views on a monthly basis by 2017 across different platforms on content created and managed by it.
