Nickelodeon General Manager Ben Cox On Growing Australia’s #1 Kids Brand
"It’s three months today since I joined,” Ben Cox, the new General Manager (GM) of Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand, told Mediaweek early in the conversation. “So I am nearing my 100-day mark.”
Cox joined the number one kids brand in Australia at a good time, both personally and professionally.
The job will be a good training ground for the new father, who has a one-year-old child. His son is too young for Nickelodeon programs at this stage, Cox said, but he is bracing himself for what’s to come: “I am readying myself for the repetition of shows, that’s for sure.”
Cox joined the company in mid-February 2017 from Foxtel, where he had been working for nearly a decade.
On day one of his new job, Cox jetted up to Brisbane from Sydney for a meeting with Tourism and Events Queensland to go over the details of their partnership for the 2017 Slime Cup.
“As I landed [at Nickelodeon] we’d just finished up with Big Bash League and the partnership we had with them over the summer,” Cox said. “The Big Bash League was looking to attract a family audience, so over the summer we had activations at the games with characters, Nickelodeon games and events on the grounds. We had the Crash The Bash series with them.”
Through this partnership, Nickelodeon reached more than 255,000 people with on the ground activities over the span of nine matches.
Nickelodeon is currently in discussions with Cricket Australia to renew this partnership for the upcoming season of the T20 Big Bash League.
“Watch this space is all I can say at the moment,” Cox said.
Before joining Nickelodeon, Cox was the General Manager of Content Aggregation at Foxtel. In this job he worked on a number of projects directed at children, including the launch of the Nick Play app in 2015. He was also instrumental in the content aggregation process for the launch of the Foxtel Kids app in December 2016.
These experiences, Cox said, had given him some familiarity with Nickelodeon’s operations in Australia and the team working behind it. The brand was established down under in 1995 as a joint venture between Foxtel and MTV Networks Australia.
“I was looking after all the commercial partnerships with our third party channels,” he recalled. “I’d worked with the Nick team for years on their priorities and the direction they were headed in. In 2014, I joined the Nickelodeon board from the Foxtel side. That gave me a good oversight about what their top line was.
“A mix of working closely with the Nick team and working closely with kids and family content certainly helped me in understanding how the market works.”
In April 2017, Nickelodeon recorded a few milestones on television. The main channel ranked #1 in the kids and family marketplace for children aged 5-12. Meanwhile, the brand’s channel for pre-schoolers, Nick Jr., was the #1 channel in the kids and family marketplace with children aged up to four.
Front Row [L-R] – Cassandra Chan, senior manager, retail marketing and licensing ANZ; Yvonne King, director, Haven Global; Claire O’Connor, VP, consumer products and retail marketing APAC; Back Row [L-R] – Ben Cox, VP & GM, Nickelodeon Networks ANZ; Tom Punch, MD, Haven Global; Ben Richardson, SVP & GM, Viacom International Media Networks ANZ
While Cox takes a note of the brand’s successes on TV, he tells Mediaweek that it’s important to speak about Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand’s activities off the platform as well.
“We certainly don’t measure our success based on just our performance on TV,” Cox said. “The Nickelodeon brand exists quite broadly. We are obviously on platforms like Fetch TV and Foxtel, but equally the brand exists off platform as well.”
The unique audience going to Nick.com.au was up 35% year-on-year January to April 2017. Meanwhile, in the same period, the number of unique browsers going to nickjr.com.au was up by 88% year-on-year.
“The focus for us is to try to build the brand based on where the kids are,” Cox stated. “It is about the reach for us.”
One of the most surprising things for Cox when he took on his current role was realising how many people the brand and its products reach through their various activities including events.
He noted, “The channel reach is often the focus, but if you look off the screen, we are reaching 700,000 kids and families through our on-ground activities like meet and greet and Slime Cup.”
The number of people reached includes the Big Bash events held earlier this year. “But that excludes our theme park partnerships with Wet’n’Wild – where we have the Nickelodeon Beach – and Sea World,” Cox pointed out.
Nickelodeon's ticketed event Paw Patrol Live travelled to Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne in March and April 2017. More than 70,000 people attended. The show will head to New Zealand in September and October this year.
Cox said: “The scale of that alone is huge.
“For us it’s important that we are giving kids a firsthand Nickelodeon experience where they can touch and feel the brand as well as view it on TV.”
Cox took over from Jihee Nam as the GM of Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand. Mediaweek spoke to Nam a number of times in the four years that she’d been in the job. She often spoke about her digital vision for the brand. Cox credited Nam’s digital background and expertise for leading the kids brand to the success it is currently experiencing in that arena.
“A lot of her advice and guidance was around helping to grow those digital platforms,” he said. “If you have kids then you know that they are increasingly using technology. They are playing games on iPads and are viewing content online whether its long form or short form.”
Cox said his focus would be on growing the Nickelodeon brand in digital as well as its live events.
Talking about who the brand’s biggest competition in Australia is, Cox said: “I wouldn’t necessarily talk specifically about Disney. Kids are leading busier and more complicated lives than they did before. There is a lot competition for their time – YouTube is a big one and other channels like Netflix. There is also competition from the games they are playing.”

Nickelodeon Introduces Interactive, Play-Along Preschool Videos In NOGGIN App, June 1 On iOS
Original Nickelodeon USA Press Release via NickPress.com:
Share it: @NOGGINKids facebook.com/noggin
NEW YORK–May 31, 2017– Nickelodeon, the number-one kids entertainment brand, is introducing a brand-new collection of interactive, curriculum-driven preschool episodes in its NOGGIN video subscription service, beginning June 1 initially on iOS platforms. Nick’s play-along preschool videos were created by an in-house team using a proprietary authoring tool which enables the simultaneous creation of interactive digital content alongside the production of linear TV content. This inaugurates the use of a new production model that can grow across all Nickelodeon’s platforms moving forward.
“The introduction of our play-along videos mark the evolution of preschool interactivity that Nickelodeon initiated with Blue’s Clues and Dora the Explorer,” said Matthew Evans, Executive Vice President, Digital and New Business, Nickelodeon Group. “We can now transform our linear production capabilities through an authoring tool of our own design that allows us to create complementary interactive, digital video that truly lets kids participate in, and learn from the story.”
Nickelodeon’s play-along videos allow preschoolers to engage with their favorite characters by tapping, touching, swiping or speaking to navigate through enhanced educational experiences that promote science, technology, engineering, math and social-emotional skills–all while having fun every step of the way. At launch, more than 30 play-along videos will be introduced, including Blaze and the Monster Machines, Bubble Guppies, Team Umizoomi and short-form content featuring longtime beloved characters Moose and Zee.
Nickelodeon’s new play-along video authoring tool puts the ability to create interactive digital content into the hands of Nick’s show creators, producers and animators. The tool supports real-time scene editing and a live preview that allows the teams to layer in interactive elements, to create brand-new play-along moments within any episode. Interactive writers and producers can also be integrated into a show’s creative team, allowing them to generate engaging, story-driven interactive videos from the start of a production and deliver both linear and play-along versions of the same episode simultaneously. Additionally, the play-along video player can be integrated into the existing Nickelodeon video apps, eliminating the need to download a separate app.
Nick’s play-along videos were also created in partnership with curriculum and research consultants who helped shape the interactions to enhance the existing educational value of the shows. Throughout each interactive adventure, kids engage with content that fosters the development of cognitive, social and emotional skills.
NOGGIN is an ad-free, video subscription service that features hundreds of iconic, full-length library episodes, short-form videos, educational content, music videos featuring preschoolers’ favorite Nickelodeon characters, and more, with new content added weekly. Consistently ranking at the top of the charts in the Family and Kids categories, the NOGGIN App is one of the top 10 grossing Kids apps on the App Store, in addition to being the number-one grossing app for Music and Video in the Family Category on Google Play. NOGGIN was also selected by Apple as an Apple TV app of the year. Currently available for iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Android, Fire tablet and Roku devices, NOGGIN has 25 series to date including the recently added Yo Gabba Gabba!, Trucktown, Miffy and Friends and Teletubbies. Additional titles in the NOGGIN lineup include Blue’s Clues, Go, Diego, Go!, Franklin, The Backyardigans and Pocoyo, among others.
Nickelodeon, now in its 38th year, is the number-one entertainment brand for kids. It has built a diverse, global business by putting kids first in everything it does. The company includes television programming and production in the United States and around the world, plus consumer products, digital, recreation, books and feature films. Nickelodeon’s U.S. television network is seen in more than 90 million households and has been the number-one-rated kids’ basic cable network for 22 consecutive years.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Short 'Strike Hard'
The most famous turtles in the world are making a comeback in a brand new short from Nickelodeon.
Catch up with the famous pizza-eating foursome, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo, in an exclusive short from Nickelodeon.
Brought into this world in 1984 on the pages of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s comic book, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were soon after adapted for television and cinema.
A huge sensation around the world, they’ve been captivating entire generations for over 30 years. We follow the adventures of four turtles who live in the sewers of New York City with their adoptive father, a rat named Splinter. Transformed into anthropomorphic creatures after being exposed to a strange ooze, the turtles are masters of martial arts and defend the city as masked vigilantes.
Acquired in 2009 by Nickelodeon, TMNT got a makeover with the release of a new series made entirely with CGI. Despite some risky changes to the writing, the series was rather well-received by audiences and the fifth season is currently in production.
Riding on the wave of success, Nickelodeon has created several spin-offs and merchandise (toys, video games) including the short films that feature our heroes in brand new adventures, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Short "Strike Hard", where the Ninja Turtles and Krang take off on an epic high-speed chase through NYC. Come and watch it before the open-air screening of Leap! on the Pâquier.

Nickelodeon Austria & Nickelodeon Switzerland To Premiere "Bunsen Is A Beast" On Sunday 23rd July 2017
A beast and a human form an unlikely friendship in Nickelodeon's newest animated series Bunsen is a Beast, premiering Sunday 23rd July 2017 at 12:20 Uhr on Nickelodeon Austria (Österreich) and Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz)! Created and executive produced by Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents/Cosmo & Wanda: Wenn Elfen Helfen), the 20-episode series follows the adventures of Bunsen, the first beast to attend a human grade school, and his best friend Mikey. Following the shows debut, new episodes will air regularly Sundays at 12:20 Uhr.
Bunsen is a Beast tells the story of Bunsen and Mikey, two new friends who embark on endless fun and adventures in their town of Muckledunk. As the first beast ever to attend a middle school for human kids, Bunsen feels the pressure to succeed and prove to the world that monsters can live among humans…and they won't eat everyone for lunch. With help from Mikey, Bunsen will learn how to accomplish human world tasks, like, doing homework, eating ice cream, and riding the bus. In turn, Mikey will learn to navigate the Beast World and meet all the weird and wonderful beasts that reside there.
In the series premiere, "Bunsen is a Beast!", Bunsen attends his first day of human middle school in hopes to prove that beasts and humans can happily co-exist. Then, in "Body and the Beast", Bunsen literally loses his head on picture day and Mikey has to help him find it before picture time.
Bunsen and Mikey in Nickelodeon's Bunsen is a Beast.
The voice cast of the US-English dub of Bunsen is a Beast includes: Jeremy Rowley (iCarly) as Bunsen, the first beast ever to attend a middle school for human kids; Ben Giroux (Henry Danger) as Mikey, a sweet and quirky kid and Bunsen’s best friend; Cristina Milizia (Monster High) as Darcy, Bunsen and Mikey's homeschooled friend; Kari Wahlgren (The Fairly OddParents) as Amanda Killman, the rigid and rule bound beast hater; comedy legend Cheri Oteri (Saturday Night Live) as Miss Flap, Mikey and Bunsen's eccentric teacher; Jeff Bennett (Jake and the Neverland Pirates) as Bunsen's Dad; and Jennifer Hale (The Powerpuff Girls) as Bunsen's Mom. Additionally, Wahlgren and Rowley also voice Mikey's Mom and Dad.

Bunsen is a Beast is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, which officially opened the doors to its newly expanded building -- an over 200,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art, sustainable complex on January 11.
Hartman began his animation career as an assistant animator on An American Tail. He created his own shorts for What a Cartoon!, and also wrote and directed episodes of Dexter's Laboratory, Cow & Chicken and Johnny Bravo. Bunsen is a Beast marks Hartman’s fourth animated series for Nickelodeon. Hartman joined Nickelodeon in 1998 where he created and produced several cartoon shorts for the Oh Yeah! Cartoons series, including The Fairly OddParents. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the animated series, Hartman brought the series to life in the 2010 live-action/CG animated hit TV movie, A Fairly OddMovie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! The series came to life once again in the original TV movie, A Fairly Odd Christmas in 2012 and A Fairly OddSummer in 2014. Hartman is also the creator of Nickelodeon's animated series Danny Phantom and T.U.F.F. Puppy.
'Bunsen is a Beast!'
In addition to his work with Nickelodeon, Hartman has also created the Noog Network, a mobile app that features interactive games, cartoons and live shows. “I kind of never stop. I never sleep. I just like to draw and put ideas down. And every idea that Nickelodeon doesn’t buy I put on the Noog Network,” explains Hartman. He notes that Noog is a good place to try out new ideas and see how they go over in a short amount of time.

In addition to his work with Nickelodeon, Hartman has also created the Noog Network, a mobile app that features interactive games, cartoons and live shows. “I kind of never stop. I never sleep. I just like to draw and put ideas down. And every idea that Nickelodeon doesn’t buy I put on the Noog Network,” explains Hartman. He notes that Noog is a good place to try out new ideas and see how they go over in a short amount of time.
