INTELLIGENT INVESTING WITH BANJO,well sort of! (Ed-hmmmm-lol)

Galleon Holdings plc has three key divisions:Galleon Entertainment for entertainment type IP,Croco Worldwide for product IP,Phoenix for interactive TV services for broadcasters in China/South East Asia which includes Robot Information Technology (Lushy Assets ('Yunbo')) who are a wireless interactive platform service provider in China who will work alongside Phoenix to enable GON to hold on to a greater part of the generated revenue and so increase the profit margin......think that's the plan! :-)

This makes Galleon Holdings a 'One Stop Shop' to develop and complete new and existing IP's.

26th June 2008 Galleon – And Its 'Edgy' Strategy by Tom Bulford

Apollo's Pad website has been updated today,all coming together ready for Launch on Monday :-)

http://www.apollospad.com/

Taken from the Results dated 25th January 2007:


Apollo's Pad

Apollo's Pad is the first example of a successful application of our skills to
this new way of thinking. The consumer most affected by convergence is the 16-24
year old. They have a voracious appetite for music, comedy and other
entertainment that can be snacked across multiple platforms. Apollo's Pad is
effectively a business that takes your all-time favourite music and, by applying
the latest in animation and comedy, delivers these great tracks to today's
multimedia consumer as branded entertainment across all channels and platforms:
online, TV, radio, mobile and retail. It was critical that in development we not
only created the content but also the web portal that will allow consumers to
access this content on a global basis. As a business it allows traditional TV
partners to participate in the brand on a regional basis, but is not dependent
on them as means of accessing the consumer. This means that we can launch
Apollo's Pad directly to the global online music market, benefiting from
direct-to-consumer revenue streams from day one of launch. This direct dialogue
also allows our consumers to directly participate in the creating and shaping of
the content that they consume. This integrated two-way dialogue allows us to
constantly be in touch with our audience and effectively create 'Organic
Content' that evolves according to their needs.

This new business model has already resulted in a global deal with Sony BMG who
will be our music partner providing access to music rights and catalogue as well
as the best artists and producers. Sony BMG will also be our partner in the
sales and marketing of the music videos we create on a global basis.
Conversations with TV, mobile and online partners are continuing on a territory
basis. The first content will be launched in quarter four 2007.

Still awaiting news from Brand Licensing but plenty of time yet for GON to announce merchandising deals.

You have to like Fridays :-)

up up and away :-)

MIPCOM Junior finished today and MIPCOM,the main event starts tomorrow with the officail launch of Apollo's Pad too.
Should be an interesting week!

Not a bad start to day :-)

Hi Banjomik: GON has gone sky-high - do you think it will hit 40p soon? Glad I managed to get back in this morning.

Morning Toya,
A bit of selling at moment before further rises!

Well,that was quite an amazing day!!!!

I said it was going to be an interesting week on Sunday!Wasn't expecting it to kick off on Monday-lol.

News from GON on how Brand Licensing went would give great support at these levels!

Afternoon all,
Good to see it nice and quiet today.Looked to me that mm's were hoping for a similar day as yesterday........ next trick :-)

This was posted over on the darkiside earlier on:


"STRATEGY FOR ROLLOUT:

"We are very excited by how Skunk Fu! is being embraced by both broadcasters and children on three continents already, says Genevieve Dexter, a director at Cake Entertainment. Furthermore, by January 2008 we will be on air on key platforms in the U.S., U.K., Germany and France. This creates the ideal platform for bringing Skunk Fu! merchandise to market by autumn/winter 2008, once Skunk Fu! starts to be embedded in the general consciousness of all these markets."

Ed Galton, the managing director of Cake Distribution, adds: "Although we are in the fortunate position to have brought on board many key markets, we are going to MIPCOM to bring on board the last pieces of our puzzle. Concretely, Latin America and Spain will be special focus areas.

I must apologise in that I assumed with all the information I had at hand that merchandising would start for Christmas this year!
The article is very positive for the future but I'm annoyed at myself for building up Brand Licensing for which it turns out to be for the wrong reasons!

But if there is no debate then hey hoo-lol.

Plenty of news still to come from the three trade shows and now more to come throughout this year and next regarding Skunk Fu.

That's OK Banjomick - apologies accepted. Thanks for the info. It will obviously take time for the merchandise to be manufactured, so in the shops this Xmas was never an option. But signed contracts will do nicely, and there should be some of those this year I would think.

Items of interest-dyor ect ect ect :-)

The Lady with the Log says ' GON are now high profile and my job is done here,for now! '

Looks like it's been an interesting day,so far :-)

I see Apollo's Pad is picking up some revenue from adverts on the website!
I think only small fry at the moment but if it takes off as I believe it will then we may well see some larger advertising deals being struck in the future,all bodes well-imo.

Re adverts,think they were only testers as they have vanished now.Plenty of up-side still to come-imo
