NickALive!'s pick of Nickelodeon news, highlights and more from around the internet!:



- More Brands Are Turning To In-Game Advertising. One of the most effective campaigns Tapjoy ran this year was for Nickelodeon in promoting its Kids’ Choice Sports awards. The campaign featured an interactive “catch-and-fall” mini-game as a video end card, which drove traffic to Nickelodeon’s landing page. The trailers saw a 91 percent completion rate.

-- Viacom finds great synergy between its Nickelodeon cable TV brand and Noggin, a streaming service targeting preschoolers! “It’s doing incredibly well,” says Tom Gorke, Viacom exec VP of distribution and business development, also a speaker at the summit. Parents, he says, want both offerings for their kids: “They are not mutually exclusive.” He believes established brands will continue to resonate across delivery platforms as business models proliferate. “One of the reasons I am excited about the emerging OTT space is it provides choice to consumers not only in content but how they want to consume it.” Gorke recently participated as a speaker in Variety's Entertainment and Technology Summit Sept. 6 at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills.
