earlier this year.....



'Across China, live video streaming has become a popular form of entertainment. There are an estimated more than 900 live-streaming platforms and over 10 million active hosts in the country, cashing in on the concept of “entertainmerce” – a blend of e-commerce and entertainment. These enterprises are raking in billions of dollars for hosts, often known as “key opinion leaders” or KOLs, and the companies behind them. The South China Morning Post took a look inside the work of one multi-media company in the southern China city of Guangzhou, where live-streaming hosts are trained to operate in a lucrative business.

The shifting scale on the day chart above can be confusing....quick look just now and it looked like bids had lost several pence instead of a fraction....beach is great, Calm and more fun than bids at the moment.

The article that Hitsha is referencing:



Basically references the size of Stadia’s market at 99 million users.

Great news for the games we’ve already got in there. For us, average playing time is important. Simple assumptions of 1 hour game play per day per user would lead to 36 billion hours of eyeballs on the platform. That’s a lot of traffic!

A BIDs tie in with Stadia would be a dream. And then swallow company up for multi billions of pounds please

[hazl] 18/7/2019 06:56

I dare say there's room for BIDS...looking at the interested parties so far.

Google Has an Astonishing Advantage In Its Smart New Plan to Dominate This $140 Billion Industry. (The Entire Thing Is Hiding in Plain Sight)

This part from the above link is also very positive for BIDS:

Anna Forbes, UK general manager at The Trade Desk

“It’s notable that, in a quarter of flatlining marketing budgets, the one bright spot of growth is internet-based advertising. We’ve seen a significant increase in the number of brands upskilling in digital advertising over the past couple of years, and these results go to show that marketers no longer see digital as an ‘add-on’ but rather as a core element of their strategy. With such trends set to continue, I think it’s likely that in just a few years we’ll no longer actually be talking about ‘programmatic’ as a specific type of advertising – it’ll just be how ads are bought as standard.

Any ex-Trade Desk employees on BIDS payroll? ;-)

This isn't GFIN though so not relevant

[hazl] 17/7/2019 20:50

Perhaps 'losing' is the wrong word....perhaps 'using' is better?

Related by simply being a listed eSports business...
GFinity announced a successful placing of 116,666,666 new shares at 4.5p raising £5.25m of much needed cash...
GFIN has been a dogs dinner of an eSports company having raised as much as £36m plus (if my maths are correct) and the enlarged company will have JUST a valuation at £22.3m after the placing is completed.
Not sure what it says about the sector other than GFinity have been losing over £1m a month.

“As marketing budgets stagnate and industry confidence wanes in times of uncertainty, marketers are looking for new avenues to reach audiences and boost brand awareness. Digital and social channels are continuing to prove a fruitful and effective way of advertising to a captive and engaged audience.

A great article from @MarketingWeekEd on the opportunities for brands in #gaming. "Collaborating with a gaming brand can give businesses instant access to a highly engaged, gender diverse audience" - we couldn't have put it better ourselves! ?? marketingweek.com/brand-benefits... #bidshttps://twitter.com/mrmehar86/status/1151474450774278145?s=21

Sooooo, when do we think an rns will drop then? JW, was saying he expected significant news within a month a few podcasts ago. I have a feeling his month is almost up! I thought we would have had something by now too, given E3 was over a month ago now.
