VELDT – Helmets


We love to ride, we wanted to create the best possible helmet we could, a helmet that protected us, a helmet that was comfortable, but also a helmet that remained simple : that’s what VELDT is all about : Minimalist, Reliable and Light. Because our helmets are small they’re incredibly flattering.

MIPCOM 2017: Discovery Communications’ Eurosport teams up with Snap Inc to engage younger audience with Olympic Games

Discovery Communications President and CEO David Zaslav

MIPCOM – France – Discovery Communications’ Eurosport and Snap, Inc. reached a strategic advertising and content agreement that will deliver a new partnership for the Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang 2018, bringing Snapchatters across Europe exciting Olympic Games action through several types of professionally curated content on Snap’s Discover platform.Announced  at Mipcom, the deal is a text book case of two strategic concern voiced by Discovery Communications’ president-CEO David Zaslav who was honored as this week’s 2017 Mipcom trade fair as the Mipcom personality of the year.

This partnership marks the first time that Snap has committed to a European, multi-language deal for covering the Olympics, offering unique opportunities for more brands to engage a younger generation of fans through a fresh, mobile-first look at the Games. This will include behind-the-scenes action from exciting Olympic events such as snowboarding, downhill and freestyle skiing and ice hockey  as well as relevant content from the athletes and influencers that fans want to connect with.

This first-of-its kind European multifaceted partnership will feature both daily Our Stories which are curated stories featuring Snaps submitted by Snapchatters and publisher stories which are magazine-like Stories produced by media publishers curated by Eurosport dedicated to the Olympic Winter Games. The original content accessible through Our Stories will be Olympic Games Snaps created by a dedicated team of editors at Snapchat, combined with Eurosport’s premium Olympic Games footage which will capture every minute of the Games action on its fast-growing streaming service, Eurosport Player.

Capturing the experience and excitement of the world’s biggest sport event, the new Eurosport publisher stories will bring Snapchatters into the action, enabling them to create, curate and share through the platform with an immersive content experience, featuring full-screen graphics, text overlays, animation, and sound. Discovery’s Ad Sales teams across Europe will be able to offer brands the opportunity to reach wider, younger and more digitally minded communities through Snap Ad packages.

“We are thrilled to bring the excitement and passion of the Olympic Games directly to Snap’s dynamic and engaged younger audience, allowing Discovery to deliver on its promise to bring the Games to more people across more screens in Europe than ever before” said Michael Lang, President, International Development & Digital for Discovery International. “This partnership delivers original content, through Discovery’s unparalleled and innovative storytelling of the Olympic Games, to one of the most powerful and influential social media platforms in the world.”

“Snapchat gives sports fans an unparalleled way to experience the Olympic Games and engage with their favorite athletes and teams. Discovery has already been a great collaborator for us, reimagining their iconic Shark Week franchise into a show for Snapchat,” said Ben Schwerin, Vice President of Partnerships for Snap Inc. “We’re thrilled to be expanding our partnership to give Snapchatters across Europe the best Olympic Games experience possible.”

Jonathan Davies, Managing Director, International Advertising Partnerships for Discovery & Eurosport, said: “We couldn’t be more excited to be the “The Home of the Olympics” on Snapchat in Europe, and to give our Olympics sponsors and advertising partners exclusive access to the audiences and conversations that only Snapchat can deliver during one of 2018’s most high-profile sporting events.”

On average, 57 million people use Snapchat daily in Europe, and 25% of smartphone users in the UK now use Snapchat every day. Snapchat’s community is highly engaged, with daily active users around the world visiting Snapchat more than 20 times each day, creating over 3 billion Snaps daily with its cameras. On average, Snapchatters globally spend an average of over 30 minutes on the app daily, and Snapchatters under 25 spend an average of 40 minutes a day on the platform.

The two companies announced a partnership earlier this year in the U.S which involves Discovery producing mobile-first Shows for Snapchat’s Discover platform. The premiere of their first collaboration, “Shark Week on Snapchat,” launched in July. Over the course of the Show’s week-long run, over 17 million viewers watched the Show.

Discovery Communications is the exclusive TV and multimedia rights holder for 50 countries and territories in Europe for the Olympic Games from 2018-2024. In addition, over the last year Discovery has accelerated its International digital activity significantly from its BAMTech Europe JV, double digit subscriber growth in its Eurosport Player streaming service, to the new OTT JV with ProSieben and the launch of Discovery and Eurosport channels with Amazon in the UK and Germany.

Philippines animation and games developer Synergy88 has teamed up with Japanese broadcaster TV Asahi and Singapore’s  August Media Holdings. It has come up with  new anime series Barangay 143 to the global market.

It is the story of a young talented basketball player who quits the game after a personal family tragedy and moves to Phillipines.

Synergy 88 producer and managing director Jackeline Chua said, “This is ground breaking for us that the IP for the series is Filipino.That’s why Barangay 143 is one of its kind.”

Big step for Phillippines as the country enters into creating its own Intellectual property. Actors like John Arcilla and Cherie Gill will be dubbing as voice actors for the series who are well known names in the country.

Gil said, ” It is the first anime to be made in Philippines told by Filipinos in Tagalog which will hopefully be dubbed into different languages. The story is very much something a global market that can identify with crime,drama and mystery.” It is available as 13 episodes, 44 minutes or 26 episodes/22 minutes format. The anime style production is based on Phillipines. It targets young adults, young basketball fans.

Phillipine Government’s Export Marketing Bureau assistant director Anthony Rivera said, ” On the Government side we would like to develop the Philippines animation industry.” The bureau supported eight producers on its MIPCOM stand.

He added, ” We want to transform our country from being just service providers to  IP asset owners. We are encouraged by Barangay 143’s success and that’s why we want to support the Filipino animation industry. That’s the reason that our Govt has sponsored the MIPCOM stand to bring out more such potential projects.”

MIP Junior 2017: Cartoon Network honcho Adina Pitt shares tips for kids content creators

From left Director of  ‘The Creative Garden’ Sarah Bynes, Cartoon Network VP content acquisitions Adina Pitt at the MIPJunior Fireside chat

It was a warm morning at MIPJunior 2017, with a cosy firechat with Adina Pitt, VP content acquisitions and co-productions, Cartoon Network and Boomerang. She addressed how Cartoon Network is responding to the evolution in the kids market.  Sarah Baynes, director of The Creative Garden moderated the session.  A virtual fireside was created through the computer screen in the middle. Adina who was all dressed in yellow showed her funny side when she quipped that she would help crack deals if someone gives her a coffee there. And bazinga! There were around 4-5 people offering coffee.

Coming back to the session, “Supply and demand is tricky as a buyer,” Pitt acknowledged. “There’s so many more platforms. People aggregate content with such frequency that we can’t make it as fast as we need it.”

Of course, that isn’t buying’s only problem today. “Economics can be tricky; putting together a show, the financing is hard. As a community, we have to work together to create new models, look at creative ways of getting content together faster.”

A lot of this has to do with how unrealistic supply expectations have become when compared to how long it takes to create content in the first place. “The moment we say yes to something, we could be looking at an 18-month to two-year window before that series becomes available,”Pitt pointed out. “Think about how long it takes to take delivery of 20 episodes”—a figure she called the “minimum to do a proper strip.”

“It takes a long time,” Pitt went on. “The moment we say yes to something and that’s a go, we’re already looking for the next thing to pick up. We live in several lanes.” Or as she’d later put it, “We are constant curators. We’re looking all the time.”

Which is why collaboration is more important than ever. “People need to partner—with us, with each other, to build, so when you come to us we can accelerate faster,” Pitt emphasised.

She also provided advice for people looking to sell their content this week: “Is it big enough, and can it travel?” Pitt asked. “Those are the questions we’re going to ask you, because we’re being asked those questions.”

Also, “Think where you want your property to go,” she counselled. If you decide to execute on YouTube first, as Adventure Time did, ask: “How does that affect ancillary revenue? Are you going to get a toy deal off of that? How do you measure consumers? You might get a million hits, but do they come back?”

Pitt summarised, “Think about it as a really long tail—not a one-and-done.”Lastly in advice, “Get over yourselves,” she said. “Don’t work alone. Partner, partner, partner.”

In Q and A, Pitt took the opportunity to respond to something to Fred Seibert’s MIPJunior 2017 keynote. She said that little has changed in kids TV in 20 years, and you wouldn’t even know that Minecraft — an online building game and apparently the most searched-for term among young children — existed from the shows.

“We can talk about this for days, but I actually believe in the circle,” Pitt replied. “There’s an element of sameness amidst all this newness. We’re still mining content for kids and that process is still the same. How you deploy it, and what it is, is what’s changing. I don’t think kids are gonna stop watching animation; they might just want it served another way.”

Perhaps with that in mind, asked by Baynes what’s coming up on the Cartoon Network pipeline, Pitt refrained from sharing anything concrete … but nonetheless tossed a hint our way. “I use the word ‘immersive’, and that’s an important word. Kids want to experience their content the way they want to experience it. They live that property.”
