Gambit on Licensing (Brand/Formats)

Event Info

Description

Gaming gambling (even soft gaming or skill gaming) is essentially FMCG business, like selling Cereals, chocholate bars or insurance/banking/derivative products (for higher stake games like spreadbetting etc.).

Therefore, gaining Trust and maintaining a good following for an operator is key and one best way is to license a brand/format from another medium (TV? movies? Manga/comics? dare I say it Sharon Osborne!??)

However, what is the business drivers behind it, how the deals are stuck, what are the expectations and performance matrix employed to see if it has worked?

To explore these issues and more, as usual, Gambit will pull together a top notch panel of speakers to get to bottom of the licensing jungle..

The audience can decide whether it will be "get me in there", or "get me out of there" at the end of the usual insightful/lively, yet relaxed evening discussion with whos' who of the sector.

Speakers:

• Jurian VanDerMeer, Head of Brand Exploitation, Endemol UK [confirmed]
• Paul Kanareck, Head of FremantleMedia Ventures [confirmed]
• Tom Kenny, Commercial Director, Wagerworks (IGT company) [confirmed]
• Marketing Director, Marvel Comics [Invited]
• Gaming firm that licensed products [TBC]
• Brands that already licensed, or looking to license, what they are looking for [TBC]
