Nickelodeon Australia to Explore SpongeBob's Enduring Popularity at Mumbrella Entertainment Marketing Summit 2018

Nickelodeon, Fetch, Eventbrite and Splendour to speak at the Mumbrella Entertainment Marketing Summit August 23, 2018 8:32

SpongeBob SquarePants’ enduring popularity will be explored in an exclusive session featuring Nickelodeon’s General Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Ben Cox, at the 2018 Mumbrella Entertainment Marketing Summit!

Cox will present new research that demonstrates how the animated series built and maintained a dedicated fanbase for the past two decades, revealing the marketing methods that worked.

Coinciding with SpongeBob’s 20th anniversary in 2019, the session will reveal how Nickelodeon continues to reach audiences both young and old alike through a range of marketing mediums for a character that spans feature films, amusement parks, video games, TV shows, a hit Broadway musical, merchandise and more.

Nickelodeon Australia’s Cox will reveal exclusive research underpinning the studio’s marketing strategies for SpongeBob SquarePants.

The Mumbrella Entertainment Marketing Summit will take place at The Star in Sydney on November 22. Earlybird tickets are available now.

Also confirmed is Fetch marketing director, Sue Brenchley. She will discuss the company’s significant rebrand and how it has managed to create a space for itself in an increasingly crowded entertainment market.

Brenchley will relive the brand’s journey to position itself as a ‘one-stop’ content platform and reveal how it managed to attract customers who may not have been thinking directly about their entertainment needs. In other words, they may not have known they wanted or needed Fetch.

Meanwhile, Phil Silverstone, general manager APAC of global ticketing and event tech powerhouse Eventbrite, will reveal how the business managed to turn itself into a global player for events and ticketing solutions, with particular success in the Australian market.

Silverstone will discuss the company’s grassroots origins, the marketing strategy that helped it become one of the world’s biggest ticketing platforms and what consumers and brands in Australia wants.

Two new industry experts have also joined the panel on marketing festivals. Matt Langler, group marketing director of Splendour in the Grass organiser Secret Sounds, and Meagan Scott, festivals marketing and sponsorship manager of the St Kilda’s Festival, will complete the line up.

They will speak alongside Chris Zajko, head of marketing at St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, and Paul Guerra, the CEO of the The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria, organiser of the Royal Melbourne Show.

Meanwhile, the Anthony Xydis, CMO of ARN, will join fellow radio industry leaders on a panel session examining how the medium is marketing itself amid a tide of fluctuating audience numbers and a surge in new shows.

Challenged by intense competition from streaming sites and podcasts, radio owners face the task of convincing their audiences to stay tuned, while persuading new listeners to switch on. The panel of senior radio leaders will explore how it is being achieved.

The Entertainment Marketing Summit takes place at The Star in Sydney on November 22. Earlybird tickets for the summit are currently available here. Entry into the Entertainment Marketing Awards is also open, with 19 categories across branded entertainment and marketing entertainment brands. To download the criteria and enter, click here.

Nickelodeon Brazil Launches Campaigns to Encourage Mutual Respect and Responsible Use of the Internet

Nickelodeon Brazil (Brasil) are launching two new pro-social campaigns which aim to encourage viewers to help make the world a better place!

Already on-air, Nickelodeon Brasil's first campaign, below warns kids about bad behaviour, such as prejudice, corruption, piracy and mistreatment, encouraging children not only to have mutual respect but to also to begin conversations about such issues with responsible adults, raising questions about these issues in a conscious way. The second campaign, "Internet dos Bichos", will be launched in November and will address the importance of responsible use of the internet. Both films have been developed in-house by Nickelodeon's creative department.



"Internet dos Bichos" will be set in the jungle, using wild animals to help warn viewers about the dangers of the internet, and what precautions we should all take to avoid them. The goal is to highlight the responsibility everyone has when sharing content on the internet, and how this concern needs to be a topic of conversation for all generations.

Both campaigns will run on Nickelodeon Brasil until the end of the year.

From EP GRUPO:

Nickelodeon lança campanhas sobre respeito mútuo e uso responsável da internet

22 Aug 2018

Marca luta por um mundo melhor

Já no ar, a primeira campanha faz alerta contra más atitudes e incentiva crianças a conversar com adultos sobre temas importantes como desrespeito, preconceito, maus tratos, corrupção e pirataria

‘Internet dos Bichos’, que será lançada em novembro, tem como intuito alertar os pequenos sobre o uso responsável da internet

O canal Nickelodeon acaba de anunciar o lançamento de duas campanhas. A primeira delas, já no ar, faz alerta sobre más atitudes como preconceito, corrupção, pirataria e maus tratos, incentivando não apenas o respeito mútuo, mas também uma conversa sobre tais questões com adultos. A segunda, ‘Internet dos Bichos’, será lançada em novembro e aborda a importância do uso responsável da internet. Os dois filmes foram desenvolvidos internamente pelo departamento de Criação da empresa.

“A audiência da Nick já nasce totalmente conectada, ligada em tudo que acontece. Daí a importância de debater de maneira divertida, porém clara e direta, temas importantes e que fazem parte da vida das crianças”, comenta Natasha Szaniecki Novak, Diretora Sênior de Comunicação Corporativa e Pró-social da Viacom Brasil. “Em campanhas como essas reafirmamos o nosso compromisso e preocupação em contribuir com o desenvolvimento das novas gerações e na construção de um mundo melhor”.

Na primeira campanha, que faz alerta sobre más atitudes, temas superpresentes na vida das crianças, como o preconceito, desrespeito, maus tratos, pirataria e corrupção são evidenciados. A intenção é estimular essa discussão e, principalmente, incentivar que as crianças falem com um adulto responsável, levantando questionamentos sobre esses assuntos de forma consciente.

Em uma alusão aos animais na selva, a campanha ‘Internet dos Bichos’ mostra os perigos e cuidados que devemos ter na internet. O objetivo é destacar o tamanho da responsabilidade que todos têm ao compartilhar conteúdo na rede, e como essa preocupação precisa ser tema de discussão das novas gerações também.

As campanhas serão veiculadas na programação do canal até o final do ano.

Nickelodeon Says it is Keen to Work with Kiwi Slime Princess

Global entertainment giant Nickelodeon has said it is keen to work together with 12-year-old Kiwi entrepreneur Katharina Weischede, who they are currently embroiled in a trademark battle.

Katharina, who calls herself a Slime Princess as she likes making slime and dressing as a princess, turned her slime-making passion into a home-based business two years ago.

Katharina, a Year 7 student from Henderson in West Auckland, first began making slime as part of a school science fair. What started off as a hobby had by late 2017 become a home-based business called "Slime Princess". Now known by her friends, family and even strangers as the "Slime Princess", she eventually decided to trademark her business's name.

But Nickelodeon's New York-based parent company, Viacom, filed an opposition to her Slime Princess trademark, claiming it was in violation of its trademarks of "Slime" and "Nickelodeon Slime". Viacom has held the "Slime" trademark in NZ since 2009 and "Nickelodeon Slime" since last year.

Today, the entertainment company said it wanted to see how they could work together.

"We at Nickelodeon are thrilled that so many young fans love slime as much as we do and find creative ways to express themselves with it," a Nickelodeon spokesman told the NZ Herald.

"As such, the Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand team recently connected with Katharina and family to discuss an opportunity to work together."

The number-one brand for kids is known for dumping litres of a goopy green substance known as slime on celebrities and kids during awards shows, promotions and events.

It says the Slime Princess brand "would be likely to deceive or cause confusion" and "would be contrary" to the Fair Trading Act and the Trade Marks Act.

Maricel Weischede, Katharina's mother, said they had a 15-minute telephone conversation with Nickelodeon about two months ago, and that they were open to discussing ways to work with Nickelodeon.

"We are open to discuss the possible collaboration with them, but we need to see a written proposal ... we hope it would be a genuine offer that they would give to the Slime Princess," she said.

Although Nickelodeon has not commented on whether it will proceed with legal action, when Katharina received the brand's trademark objection letter, the Aucklander launched a crowdfunding page to raise money for any legal fees she may incur.

However, Katharina is hopeful for a happy ending to the story:

"As my daughter said, perhaps (the giant) would turn into a Prince Charming who would invite her to his castle so she could prosper more."
