Someone , parob?, Posted this morning that a close at or above 32 was a good technical signal...is now a good time to expand on the details

Agree with your estimate of 15%. It's a different media but SONIC INFLUENCER MARKETING (owned by Audioboom) are known to be making 15% commission on advert distribution for all their podcasts.

of general interest perhaps

Researching typical advertising commissions for advertising agents.

15% is the standard rate.

I expect FM was a lower fee to prove it out but it’s easy to see how we can achieve millions of revenue if the advertising potential of FM alone is £100m per annum given current viewing rates.

That’d be a recurring £15m p.a

Team is looking quality already:

[parob] 05/7/2019 14:01

Building the team fast..."There are a lot of things going on - as you would expect - as we're trying to condense three years worth of stuff, of building blocks, into one year. So as you would expect we are building something that has to scale quickly, particularly over Q4, scale rapidly. There will be a lot of stuff coming out in Q3 I would imagine."

Hamid, wouldn't waste your time responding to the negatively niggled niggle.
Bids, to him is overhyped overpriced nonsense, and he will no doubt believe the $75billion spend on in game advertising a mirage.
Niggle old love you may have missed the initial Bids price, but it is not too late. If not, when it goes up further in price over the weeks and months you are going to be even more niggled niggle!

THE WORD SALES kept coming up there Parob!
Good find!

Bodes well.

Two useful articles:

A primer



Good article about EA ads:



Regarding FIFAs in game purchases:

"Revenue from Ultimate Team alone made up to 50% of EA’s live services revenue over the last year, or $1.1bn. Governments have been scrutinizing these highly profitable ‘loot box’ mechanics.
However, with Belgium banning them in January having likened them to gambling mechanics in a game targeted at children other nations may follow. And should this lucrative earner be canned, EA could be forced to focus even more on in-game ads"

Very interesting technical posts,people!
Annoying how both buys and sells appear in the sells column.

[sandbag] 05/7/2019 10:29

Peterhouse Research Note of 19/09/18 states "Easy to Intergrate - the software is simple to install. It generally takes between a few hours and a few days at no cost - other than manpower - to the publisher"

[moneygenxyz] 05/7/2019 10:08

Magli, I think JD has said before that integration takes less than a day. Can’t remember the source of that so don’t quote me. I’m also resisting buying more! I’d buy more if it ever hits 21p again - sadly, probably won’t.

Hamida, great post.

Parob, exactly... the smart guys are @ BIDS. Follow the smart guys 🤓

[magli] 05/7/2019 10:03

I think in terms of timing many companies want to have releases in time for Black Friday / Cyber Monday Nov 22 2019. It depends on how much time it takes to get the coding incorporated in to the Game code... and how many people Bids Has... (must resist buying more)

[hazl] 05/7/2019 09:50

Yes he does make some very good observations in not just BIDS parob.

stoaty That is what we have been led to believe, but I have found that sometimes we get the odd surprise announcement!

[stoaty1] 05/7/2019 09:20

Being upbeat wont necessarily result in immediate news, it can take a few months to feed through. I think there will be news in the 3rd q, but much more in the 4th is my take.

[snoopy12] 05/7/2019 09:20

I will take any of the prices being mentioned.

[niggle] 05/7/2019 09:16

Any new news, apart from giddy price predictions that hold no water?

Thought not, have a great weekend folks - looks like it’s going to be nice.
