The Ticker Company appoints Kane Daniel Ricca to the newly created role of Global Marketing Director.
On Kane’s appointment, Ahron said, “Kane brings an unparalleled depth of experience and a visionary approach to our team at Ticker.
“His track record of success with prestigious brands and his innovative strategies will undoubtedly elevate our global marketing efforts to new heights.
“We’re thrilled to welcome him aboard.”
When asked about what to expect from Kane’s tenure as Global Marketing Director, he said, “When the opportunity arises to innovate within an industry that is in decline, carving out ‘what’s next’ is a challenging but incredibly fulfilling experience.
“Ticker has a reputation for being the brand for progressive media.
“I am excited to be joining the company at a pivotal point in its trajectory and look forward to furthering the relationship with our viewers and clients.”

Rob has a new show starting on Ticker tonight:
The Big Picture – Australia China Beyond 2030 looks at the complicated relationship between our two countries.
As host, I was able to speak to some fascinating people who have been affected by tariffs plus those who have business and political insights.
The four-part series launches tonight at 8.30pm on Ticker, with a new episode airing each night and repeats throughout the schedule.

Would be very interested to hear what you guys think of the way we have used the studio. We changed things up a bit - the team at Ticker were great to deal with.

Not the greatest cap, but you can see what Rob is talking about with the use of the Ticker News set.

Not to be insulting but looks very movie news broadcast.

Apropos of nothing, yesterday I listened to Ahron’s interview on the Daily podcast (is that what’s it’s called?) from 2020. Really enjoyed it, some really fascinating insights into Ticker, but also his time working for RT (listen to find out about the AIDS bus).
He’s definitely one of us - building news sets out of crepe paper at the age of 7! I’ve seen him, and Ticker, in another light. Seems a great guy, and kudos to him for building Ticker into what it is now. I know we knock it at times, and sometimes with good reason - but if it’s still going five years on, he and the team must be doing something right. Here’s to another five years - and the rest!

I’m critical of Ahron, I feel there’s allot of talk but no action. From being a news channel to programs paid for by companies paying for airtime. I just wonder how long paying customers will last if eye balls are low.
I guess from a business paying to have air time on Ticker, it’s great marketing material and even if nobody is watching it’s something they can spruik to potential customers.

I was recently talking to someone who was interviewed on Ticker about what their company offers in the business/finance field. The company paid to be interviewed by Ticker. The benefit to them wasn’t that it was going to be seen by x many Ticker viewers, but that they had a video that they could share on socials, their website, direct to clients and prospective clients etc to explain developments in their space etc. More like a promotional video, but in the format and with the authority of an editorial interview. They’ve already had a good response with an increase in interest and conversions despite the small reach because they were able to target it directly at their niche.

Perhaps this is what Disrupt should be striving for?

Very interesting milestone, 5 years has gone pretty quickly… and rather quietly from an Austrailian perspective.
Some key bits from the story:
To a question from Mediaweek about the business model, Young told us: “Year on year, Ticker has grown revenue, and we have managed to bootstrap ourselves throughout the five-year journey. We have continually re-invested our revenues into expansion, which is my priority at the moment.”
Young highlighted a commitment to innovation as a key factor in its success.
“We haven’t just built a news brand, we’ve invented a whole new revenue model that capitalises on changes to the broader industry. I consider myself as CTO (Chief Technology Officer) – always looking for inventive ways to do things better. We had the good faith to arrive at a time when technology could be harnessed to build a future-focused newsroom that emphasises what’s in front of the camera.
Looking to the future, Young revealed Ticker’s ambitious plans for more live programming, particularly in the US market. “We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead. With our new studios across the US and more streaming partners requesting our service every week, Ticker is poised for significant growth.

Good on Ahron.
In the analogue era, this was done in Australia who started TV and radio stations in markets where others deemed it too hard to write revenue.
Ralph Bower at 6SE, Steve Adermann at 7QT/7XS, TV pioneers of Mt Isa & Kalgoorlie. Riverland & Geraldton.
Thanks to the internet, Ahron’s inventive use of technology can now be seen all over the world, benefiting more than a single market.

they’ve had that for about 6 months now. Noticed Ticker is gone from Rakuten in the UK at least.
