GLOKapamilya Rewards — the entertainment-focused loyalty ecosystem connected to ABS-CBN network — is entering a new phase of digital evolution with the launch of Kapamilya Experience, an integrated platform designed to reward fans for how they watch, shop and participate in Filipino pop culture.
The move reflects ABS-CBN’s strategy to expand its audience reach, deepen engagement across screens and venues, and reassert its strength among younger, mobile-first consumers.
A Unified Digital Hub for Fandom
The new Kapamilya Experience platform brings together the full breadth of ABS-CBN content and experiences — from streaming series to travelling concerts — and turns everyday fan behaviour into loyalty currency. Members can now earn points across three primary touchpoints:
-
Streaming on ABS-CBN platforms (TV series, films, live streams, music)
-
Shopping for Kapamilya merchandise, tickets and partner products
-
Attending live events including mall shows, fan meets and concerts
By centralising these activities, Kapamilya Rewards aims to transform passive viewership into active, trackable engagement.
Targeting Gen Z: A Loyalty Play Beyond Points
ABS-CBN is open about its goal: grow penetration among Gen Z, a segment that consumes media differently and gravitates toward instant, gamified and experiences-based engagement.
The Kapamilya Experience platform is built around these behaviours:
-
Mobile-first design: Optimised for app-based browsing and fast interactions
-
Gamified milestones: Badges, levels and streaks for daily viewing or sharing content
-
Experience rewards: Points redeemable for exclusive fan benefits — early access, meet-and-greets, digital collectibles, merchandise drops
-
Social integration: Encouraging fans to share content and invite friends to earn additional rewards
This structure mirrors global entertainment loyalty trends, where studios and streaming companies are shifting from subscription-only models to community-led participation ecosystems.
A Broader Strategy for ABS-CBN
Following major shifts in the Philippine media landscape, ABS-CBN has expanded its digital footprint through streaming, third-party distribution, content partnerships and live events. Kapamilya Rewards — and now Kapamilya Experience — extend that strategy by:
1. Creating a first-party data engine
The more fans engage with content, shopping and physical events, the richer ABS-CBN’s insight into preferences, viewing habits and purchasing behaviour — all critical for content planning, marketing and partner targeting.
2. Strengthening multi-platform loyalty
By rewarding behaviour across digital, e-commerce and real-world touchpoints, ABS-CBN builds stickier relationships that transcend a single channel.
3. Elevating fan culture into a monetisation layer
Exclusive perks, early access, premium experiences and event rewards deepen emotional loyalty while opening new revenue opportunities.
4. Enhancing partner integration
The platform creates space for brand collaborations — from co-branded merch to event tie-ins — that resonate with younger audiences.
Gen Z as the Growth Engine
Gen Z in the Philippines is one of the most connected, entertainment-forward and fandom-driven demographics in Southeast Asia. With high engagement in streaming, TikTok trends, K-culture fandoms and local pop content, they represent a powerful audience for ABS-CBN’s future.
Kapamilya Experience targets this cohort directly by:
-
Rewarding the media consumption habits they already practice daily
-
Offering exclusive experiences and status-based rewards they value
With Kapamilya Experience, ABS-CBN is making a bold loyalty play: turn every moment spent in the Kapamilya universe — watching, shopping or showing up in person — into a meaningful, rewarded interaction.
By uniting fandom and loyalty, ABS-CBN is positioning Kapamilya Rewards not just as a points program but as a cultural engagement ecosystem designed for the next generation of Filipino viewers.
