Celador International (UK)'s Bruce Vandenberg said Who Wants
To Be A Millionaire was a good example of making money across
a range of platforms.
Millionaire was offered on the PC via narrowband and broadband
on a pay-for-play model across 15 countries, he said. It has generated
more than five million pounds in three years.
"It's about getting consumers to engage in the brand,"
he said. There were similar options via interactive TV and TV games
channels. A younger audience was also targeted via SMS on the mobile.
Interest had risen significantly after a 17-year-old boy won 32,000
pounds. There was also a WAP game version, he said, reflecting the
shift back to content by mobile operators.
Joel Berger of MTV Networks, Germany, told the seminar there was
limited growth in the existing TV audience for his company. "So
we have to make more out of our demographic," he said.
A key target area was mobile entertainment products:
* Ringtones, MMS logos and wallpapers
* Java games
* Video content
* And the development of mobile music services.
Robert Fahle of RTV New Media, Germany, talked about similar mobile
products. But he stressed there should be exclusive packages for
mobile operators. "TV programs must be tailored to each platform,"
he said.
