This has absolutely nothing to do with ticker, that’s just a bog standard Google ad.
As for why you got a dead link, it’s because coles would only stock that product range in certain stores and based on the URL Coles has already pre-set a store location for you.
Ticker has signed a four year lease at the property…
Ticker will begin broadcasting from the new facility from the first week of June.
Probably old news, but the Ticker News website is looking great! Changed a lot since my last visit. Full of content.
I still can’t get past the poor alignment of numbers in their on screen presentation, it’s driving me nuts.
First week of June?
Bloody hell that’s fast to set up 2 studios / sets / newsroom etc.
We don’t muck around. But we’ll have one studio at first. This week we sign off on a set design which will include LED screens etc. It’s a huge project. You guys might be interested to know it takes 6 weeks from order to have broadcast LED screens delivered from China.
So we will move in with one studio, then hopefully by end of July, everything going to plan, we’ll have our main studio up and running. I know it sounds fast, but really… cabling will take two days next week. In the end with IP networks it’s not as big as the old days. I’ve done a few overnighters when Sky changed sets. I know what it takes to build a newsroom.
The new building is incredible.
Try.
Thanks. We were all about our Apps. Now we are all about our website. Thanks Uncle Google.
Federal bureaucrats have struck a deal with fledgling online news channel Ticker News to spruik its messaging on social media. The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources will run a PR campaign through the channel over two months featuring 12- to 15-minute stories about Australian businesses that have benefited from AusIndustry funding.
The stories will be presented as news interviews
Young told Crikey that despite the platform’s Sky News image, complete with suited hosts in news studios and, of course, a news ticker, it was not Ticker’s intention to disguise advertising as news.
Interesting. The story in front of a paywall, via MSN:
The contract is worth $33,000. Here:
https://www.tenders.gov.au/Cn/Show/147f8980-f780-49df-a4dd-f5923f457e9d
I wasn’t going to comment on this story. But since you guys are discussing it, I’m going to post my response to the Crikey reporter’s questions.
As I’ve stated here before, we NEVER sell editorial as news. The Crikey journo listened to what I had to say and said “ah that makes sense now. We had a few questions about that here but I understand.” She then emailed her questions, which tried to imply that there was some scary investor behind Ticker, which there isn’t. It’s just me and my business partner and we have bootstrapped this thing from scratch.
Despite this and her thanking me, she published the same story she first came to us with. Unless you subscribe to Crikey, you only get to read her set up and headline, and not our response. Talk about integrity.
She also got the name of the Minister wrong.
Anyway, for those interested, here was my full response to her:
Hey Georgia, thanks for touching base. Here’s our reply to your query.
The contract between Ticker Media Group and AusIndustry is a sponsorship opportunity for a program called Ticker Business, not related to news.
The program features Australian businesses who will be interviewed by a Ticker Originals program host, who is completely independent.
In every Ticker Business episode, the program presenter will state that AusIndustry is the presenting sponsor of the program, plus a billboard featuring their logo will appear at the beginning of the program. Throughout the program, a “sponsor bug” with the AusIndustry logo will be on screen.
Ticker editorial is never sold. Ticker News journalists interview dozens of people around the world every day, and after the interview, guests often request to buy a copy of their video interview clip, to post on their socials. This is common practice, including at the ABC. This means we don’t have to raise money through 30 second commercials. This is a separate part to our business to the program sponsored by AusIndustry.
Ticker Media Group has no outside investors, and was started in 2019 by Ahron Young, who bootstrapped the venture, with colleague Jed Bertalli, who is the Chief Operating Officer.
ENDS.
We’ve had plenty of great publicity lately, and we go out of our way to be transparent.
Sky News image? Literally every news channel has presenters in suits, in studios and with on screen graphics.
Yes, the publicly available ASIC records show who the investors are, and you don’t need five fingers to count them.
Ticker hitting some milestones.
Ahron - Will there be any live broadcasting on weekends in the near future?
Ticker started broadcasting from their new office and studios on Monday.
Was this last Monday or today?
According to the article it should have been last week.
Just watched Ticker from 1:57pm to 2:04pm. It was full of ads, even ads saying ‘no ads’. There were a few bloopers with the sound not working, screeching sound etc. Then when we got to the news, the reader called the year ‘2011’ ‘twenty eleven teen’.
