  • Bomanbridge sells multiple kids titles to Asian channels

    MUMBAI: Bomanbridge Media, a Singapore-based content distribution and production agency, has announced multiple kids’ title sales with Celestial South East Asia, Indosiar Indonesia, PCCW Hong Kong, and Yoyo Taiwan.

    Bomanbridge exclusively represents renowned programming from around the world for Asia and its team has earned a stellar reputation in the region as the go-to people to get deals done. The company’s diverse catalogue currently holds over 5,000 hours of top quality programming consisting of Formats, Lifestyle, Factual, Drama, Kids and Educational.

    Celestial South East Asia acquired the Mandarin version of South Korean animation Woorooroo on Miao Mi channel. This educational animation based on Carl Gustav Jung’s Typological Theory (1921) of children’s social behavior features 8 different animal characters teaching children how to care and help each other out through various situations.

    Indosiar selected a package of kids’ titles including Woorooroo and two other titles from Singapore’s top animation company ONE ANIMATION, Oddbods and Insectibles. Oddbods is a sketch-based series following the adventures of seven adorable Oddbods each with a distinct personality that would appeal to adults and children alike while Insectibles brings you into a world of micro proportions with macro adventures, when the main protagonists Zak and Grandpa accidentally shrinks both down to the size of insects due to Grandpa’s invention.

    Both PCCW Hong Kong and Yoyo Taiwan have also acquired Oddbods.

    “Bomanbridge is delighted that our fantastic kids’ titles are being well-received in the Asian region. Our broadcast partners look to us to bring to them top-quality Kids and Animation series and we deliver. Bomanbridge is pleased to share these Asian-produced programs among more Asian countries,” said Bomanbridge Media CEO Sonia Fleck.

  • Bomanbridge continues buys, with animated mojicons from Ink Group

    Bomanbridge continues buys, with animated mojicons from Ink Group

    MUMBAI: Bomanbridge Media, a Singapore-based content distribution and production agency, continues to ramp up its catalogue with the addition of animated series Mojicons, from Denmark’s Ink Group. Ink Global holds worldwide rights for Mojicons, excluding Asia which is represented by Bomanbridge.

    Mojicons shows the behind-the-scenes world of the Internet, which is populated by Mojicons – the innumerable emoticons we routinely use in email communication and mobile messaging. Ironically this zany bunch of condensed emotions is clueless as to how the Web works. When a mysterious digital villain steals the “@” sign – thus halting electronic correspondence – the Mojicons have to embark on an awe-inspiring and dangerous quest to restore their system. If only they knew what the system was! Many a jaw will drop on both sides of the screen as the Internet universe reveals its secrets to both the Mojicons and the kids watching their crazy adventures.

    “Bomanbridge is a content trend-setter in Asia and we have been actively scouring the globe for the next big program ideas. Mojicons is this caliber of show, picking up on the intense and popular use of emojis around the world. Asians are very connected to their phones and emojis have taken on a life of their own. The series is extremely commercial – it’s funny, and has a great take on today’s internet culture,” said Bomanbridge Media CEO Sonia Fleck.

    Adds Ink Global Director Claus Tømming: “We are delighted to be working with Bomanbridge in bringing Mojicons to Asia. It’s a fantastic piece of storytelling that kids will love and I’m sure it won’t be long before we’re celebrating new Asian broadcasting deals.”

    NBCU inks deal with Bomanbridge to distribute ‘Chef in Your Ear’

    MUMBAI: Singapore based production and distribution agency Bomanbridge Media has inked a deal with NBCUniversal International Networks (NBCU) for pan Asian broadcast of the Canadian cooking competition show Chef in Your Ear. The new show will air on Diva channel.

    Chef in Your Ear will feature two award winning chefs being challenged every week to deliver a dish. The dishes have to be prepared, cooked and plated by a complete kitchen novice, wearing an earpiece, and taking instructions from their mentor chef.

    The chefs can see, hear and talk to their rookies, but they can’t smell, taste or touch the food.

    Bomanbridge Media CEO Sonia Fleck said, “Bomanbridge is pleased to bring NBCU the entertaining hit series, Chef in Your Ear. This hot cooking competition show, which is also a format, is enjoying tremendous success on important channel brands such as Food Network in Canada, and CJ Media in South Korea. This unique take on the cooking genre will be sure to please viewers in the region.”

    The show is also available as a format. CJ E&M from South Korea recently renewed the format for a second season, and is currently on air with its first season.

    Mongol TV Mongolia also licensed the format.   

    “The Format People are delighted that Chef in Your Ear is reaching an even wider audience in the Asia region. At the heart of every episode is an amazing journey where regular people with no cooking skills or confidence discover the secrets and the joy of producing tasty food, and want to share it with their families – all thanks to the chef in their ear,” voiced Format People CCO and partner Justin Scroggie. 

    “We are confident that NBCU will enjoy as much success with the show as the Food Network has,” he further added.
