: We are actively looking to work with regional channels
1 November 2016 was celebrated with much pomp by the folks at Helios Media. Five years of successful operation in a business (which has seen many come and go in shorter periods) was a good enough reason to party till late into the night with clients, media and friends on the terrace of its expansive office in Mumbai’s Andheri East suburb. High Five was the motto for the evening, and everyone was greeted as such.
Started by media vet Divya Radhakrishnan (on 1/11/11) who was later joined by former Zoom business head Bala Iyengar – who is now a partner in the business, Helios Media today has gained a good reputation for itself as a company that delivers. Over the years, it has helped in the monetization of channels such as MTunesHD, Fashion TV, Epic TV, FoodFood, Living Foodz, FataFati, Green TV, Fakht TV, Spin TV among many other.
With a staff strength of 55 (most of them involved in ad-sales branded content), Radhakrishnan states that the company has attained a level of stability and is looking at revving up its gross billings to the triple digit crore mark. She has been bringing in professionals and delegating responsibility to the team she leads. “I am basically a gardener,” she says, looking at the terrace lawn that her office looks on to on the top floor of an office complex in the suburb of Andheri east.
Indiantelevision.com’s Papri Das got into a tete-a-tete with Radhakrishnan to get her insight into what has been achieved so far and where she sees Helios Media going. Excerpts:
Helios Media is often viewed as an outsourced ad sales wings for channels. What is the company’s positioning in the market currently?
Clients initially approached us for the monetizing aspect of our services and were pleasantly surprised by the bouquet of services we offer, which has grown over the years. We are currently not only into pure play ad sales. We have a tendency to typecast things and put things boxes in our country. Therefore, to launch something new that doesn’t fit into the general notions of mainstream, to carving its own niche is a long journey.
Our aim is to highlight these services and solutions as part of the entire mix, which in turn helps the revenue grow, and is not just considered as an afterthought. Therefore, the thought ‘Beyond Obvious’ came into being, and it has been our brand positioning since the past three years. We didn’t chance upon the concept overnight, we studied cases, researched extensively, interviewed people from the industry, and found the need gaps and oriented a team on this mantra.
What value addition is there for channels to let Helios Media handle their revenue monetisation? Are you able to fetch them premium rates for their inventories?
Hypothetically speaking, say I have a channel going at 20 GRP which sells at an effective rate of Rs 1000, now what will I sell a channel with 5 GRP for? Rs 50, if you apply a simple sales principle. But, Helios Media has the confidence to sell it almost close to Rs 1000. We do that with right positioning of the content and brand akin-ness.
I have often been asked how I can fetch premium rates for clients when we don’t control bulk inventories in the market across different media platforms. Our proposition isn’t to sell inventories in packages, we treat each channel differently, and a different specialist handles its sales. Just because the channels have outsourced their sales, it doesn’t mean that their inventory 'sort of' goes to a supermarket shelf. We target brands based on the brand akin-ness with the channel, and given that we serve niche channels, there is no question of overlapping their sales needs.
For example, when we launched MTunes, we researched extensively with Ormax to understand what was lacking in the music scene, to hit the sweet spot that brands wanted to target and the channel could offer. It is interesting to know that we managed to get several brands involved at the content level, and explore innovative solutions through deals with the channel, as we worked around the restrictions of the music IPs having separate owners.
How do you go about selecting the channels to partner with?
Call us picky but we are very particular about the channels that we choose to sell for. If you look at our client bouquet, each one of them is a specialty channel, which needs to be positioned uniquely in the market, otherwise it won’t sell well. You can’t sell a channel such as BTVi on simply the standard unit of trade, that is, GRP. You have to sell the brand positioning, for which you need to get under the skin of the content. Therefore, a lot on how we choose clients is based on their basic understanding of this, how comfortable they are with acknowledging our inputs and working according to it.
While it is easier for us to do that for a channel we were involved with from its inception such as MTunes and Living Foodz, we have also brought in clients well into their life cycle – Food Food, Fakht Marathi, etc.
In the past five years, Helios Media hasn’t aggressively chased new clients and taken time to add a new channel to its portfolio. Is this a conscious decision?
Ours is a very people heavy business. It has to make logical sense to me to expand my team to add new channels to sell. It doesn’t seem cost-effective or time-efficient for us to add a bouquet of 50 to 60 channels and build an enterprise. Where we see expansion is in the increase in revenue and value of our clients, because it directly links to growth in our own value.
We have a channel portfolio of eight now. But, there were almost 80-odd broadcasters who approached us as prospective clients, but many a times we decided not to work with them. It is because most of them lacked the depth of understanding of the media concessionaire businesses. From broadcasters going ‘I want to launch a channel one day’ to people with content who hadn’t done up the lining to folks who simply don’t understand the distribution ecosystem: there are examples of such broadcasters galore.
Helios Media is often compared to media agencies, and its performance judged on new clients and account wins. Do you find that unfair?
Frankly, it doesn’t bother me how many crore of account I handle as compared to others, as long as I know how my business’ bottom line works.
Media agencies work on two and half per cent commission basis from the client’s marketing spends whereas we work on revenue-sharing. Therefore, when I say we have done business of X amount of billing, Helios Media’s earning is a substantial part of that net billing we have done for our clients. We are in a different sphere altogether. Their commission is linked to the clients spends, while ours its directly linked to revenue. A brand can cut down on its spends, but our fortune is tied to the client’s fortune. Thus, evaluating Helios Media’s business and performance on number of new accounts or total strength of account is absurd.
Since the launch of Brand Chef, how has this new vertical been performing for the company?
We have recently spun a new division called Brand Chef which is about consultancy for food brands. From celebrity chefs, food bloggers, popular digital stars with cooking content, we have a wide range of content solutions for brands that work directly with this division. Clients range from Go Cheese, HUL, Marico, and many more. If I were to give an estimate of how successful this division has been for us, it is almost 50 per cent of our top line revenue. We see immense potential in the food sector. We have plans to launch social media strategy for clients specifically in the food sector.
What prospects do you see in regional market?
We are actively looking to work with regional channels. Regional market pricing is always higher from an advertiser’s standpoint, because it has very little spillover. Also, the industry is slowly getting over the myth that Hindi is the national language. You move outside Mumbai and go to Pune, people respond to you in Marathi. Therefore, brands need to stop putting an overemphasis on the so called ‘HSM- or Hindi speaking Market.’
We are in talks with a regional client who is seeking our help to decide on what format they should launch in GEC, movies or something else? There is another network seeking our consultancy on which language they should go into. So, we are currently doing market prospect planning as well.

Colors to launch mythological show ‘Karmphal Data Shani’ on 7 Nov
In the past two months, Hindi GEC Colors has initiated several changes in its programming line-up by introducing some new shows spanning different genres. Adding yet another show to its offering, the channel is set to launch a new mythological drama, ‘Karmphal Data Shani’, on 7 November, which will air from Monday to Friday at 9 pm.
‘Karmphal Data Shani’ is not going to replace any existing show, because the slot has remained vacant since the conclusion of ‘Chakravartin Ashoka’ in October. For more than a month, Colors has filled the slot by extending the timing of their shows ‘Shakti’ and ‘Udaan’ by 15 minutes each.
Produced by Siddharth Tewary and Swastik Productions, the show seeks to clear all misconceptions about Lord Shani by revealing his true nature to those who have grown up fearing him.
“’Karmphal Data Shani’ is unlike anything that has been seen on Indian television in the past. Producers Siddharth Tewary and Swastik Productions have an impeccable track record when it comes to executing such stories and giving scale to the vision,” says Colors programming head Manisha Sharma.
The channel had its fair share of anxiety about the show, and the biggest challenge was shooting in Ladakh during the extended monsoons. Casting, location scouting, putting together a team of writers and technicians, designing the sets, VFX graphics and producing a show within six months were also some of the other factors that added to the producers’ general anxiety.
Speaking about the show’s casting, Sharma said, “For any show, especially for a show like ‘Karmphal Data Shani’, casting is very important. We had to first minutely take note of the traits of the characters, and then conduct extensive auditions, in order to ensure that our on-screen depiction is precise. The casting was decided jointly by Colors’ creative team and the production house.”
The channel’s marketing team has devised a detailed plan across multiple vehicles including OOH, print, electronic, radio and on-ground activations across priority markets. The team has also come up with a special digital promotional strategy by dismissing myths and misconceptions surrounding Lord Shani on social media platforms.
The channel has already roped in Dabur Chyawanprash as the presenting sponsor and is in discussion with other potential sponsors for the show.

Assamese news channel Pratidin Time banned for one day once again
MUMBAI: The Indian government continues with its caning of TV news channels. After NDTV India, it is now the turn of Pratidin Time or News Time Assam to be told to go off air on the powers-that-be’s favourite date 9 November for gross and multiple programming code violations. Pratidin Time has been accused of revealing the identity of a minor victim, showing images of mutilated bodies, and making derogatory statements about women in shows.
The violation that has been gravely objected to is the one relating to a minor boy for which the day-long ban is being issued. The ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB) issued an order dated 2 November saying that the channel revealed the identity of a minor who was brutally tortured while working as a domestic servant, thus compromising his privacy and dignity and exposing him to harm and stigma.
A high level inter-ministerial committee (IMC) took the decision to compel the channel to turn off its signals for a day after hearing its defence.
The MIB says that Pratidin Time has time and again being showing images of bodies of dead victims. It has also not being complying with earlier MIB orders which asked it to apologize for airing a show which appeared to be derogatory towards women.
The MIB in its current order has stated that Pratidin Time that all the three cases will be covered under the one day ban. It has further explained that under the Cable TV Networks (Regulation) Act, it "orders to prohibit the transmission or retransmission of News Time Assam TV channel for one day on any platform throughout India with effect from 00:01 hours on 9th November, 2016 till 00:01 hours on 10th November, 2016."

Zee Café goes for brand refresh
To reach more eyeballs, English GEC Zee Café recently announced a brand refresh initiative with the new tagline ‘All Eyes On New’.
Speaking to TelevisionPost.com about the initiative, Zee English cluster business head Ali Zaidi noted that the aim is to ensure better reach.
“Zee Café has always been a trendsetter in the English entertainment space, bringing the latest and best of content to its audience. To reach out better to our end consumers and to ensure maximised entertainment, the channel recently announced the brand refresh. The new slogan ‘All Eyes On New’ epitomises the repertoire of its clutter-breaking content and urges the audience to stay hooked on to Zee Café. It falls in tandem with the channel’s continued endeavour to present its audience with the best of Hollywood content that too within few hours of the US premiere.”
The refresh, he added, reiterates Zee Café as a symbol of the new. The new brand ethos is further emphasised in the narratives and characters of each new show. “Taking the new ethos forward is also the channel’s visual identity—the face of the channel—the first step to surprise and punch in change. The logo shows a bold Zee Café, standing tall and towering over everything. It is depicted in strong 3D, the visual language of larger-than-life graphics. The look is contemporary with a universal appeal. The colours have been treated in line with today’s sensibilities to reflect the youthfulness and exuberance of the viewers.”
Zaidi further said that the channel elements have been put together by an international agency. “The creative campaign has been executed by Draft FCB ULKA and the consumers’ reaction has been very positive.”
Content: The content showcase is a blend of drama, comedy, thrill and action curated for those who are always looking forward to exploring something new. The channel continues with its marquee property ‘Along With the U.S.’ (within few hours of the US premiere) and airs shows such as ‘Gotham S3’, ‘Big Bang Theory S10’, ‘Supergirl S2’, ‘Secret and Lies S2’ and ‘Lethal Weapon’ every Monday to Friday, 10 pm.
Bolstering this is the airing of new seasons of four new Indian TV premieres—‘The Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders’, ‘Code Black’, ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and ‘The Real O’Neals’ back to back from 8 pm to 11 pm under its fresh property ‘Weekend Prime’. “Besides, the channel will premiere a new show ‘Agent X’ under its property ‘Premiere Marathon’ on 12 and 13 November, 1 pm onwards. Following tremendous response for the first season, Zee Café also brings back ‘Uncut’—an hour of unfiltered and uncensored content, Monday–Friday 11 pm.
Genre diversity: Zee Café’s brand refresh is inspired from the research insight that consumers today are constantly exploring and discovering. “They are willing to carry change along with them to grow. They want to be bold and actively seek what is new and different. Zee Café has thus lined up incredible shows across genres to offer the audience maximum choice instead of limiting itself to one or two specific themes. For instance, we have fantasy shows like ‘Shannara Chronicles’ and crime thriller shows like ‘Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders’ airing in the primetime slot,” he said.
Getting closer to the US: Not surprisingly, the channel has boosted efforts in this area. “We have always been showing the latest shows, along with the US. Earlier we used to air shows within a day of the US premiere, but now we have shortened the gap and bring it to our audience within few hours of the US premiere,” Zaidi said.

The look is contemporary with a universal appeal. The colours have been treated in line with today’s sensibilities to reflect the youthfulness and exuberance of the viewers.”
Zaidi further said that the channel elements have been put together by an international agency. “The creative campaign has been executed by Draft FCB ULKA and the consumers’ reaction has been very positive.”
Content: The content showcase is a blend of drama, comedy, thrill and action curated for those who are always looking forward to exploring something new. The channel continues with its marquee property ‘Along With the U.S.’ (within few hours of the US premiere) and airs shows such as ‘Gotham S3’, ‘Big Bang Theory S10’, ‘Supergirl S2’, ‘Secret and Lies S2’ and ‘Lethal Weapon’ every Monday to Friday, 10 pm.
Bolstering this is the airing of new seasons of four new Indian TV premieres—‘The Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders’, ‘Code Black’, ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and ‘The Real O’Neals’ back to back from 8 pm to 11 pm under its fresh property ‘Weekend Prime’. “Besides, the channel will premiere a new show ‘Agent X’ under its property ‘Premiere Marathon’ on 12 and 13 November, 1 pm onwards. Following tremendous response for the first season, Zee Café also brings back ‘Uncut’—an hour of unfiltered and uncensored content, Monday–Friday 11 pm.
Genre diversity: Zee Café’s brand refresh is inspired from the research insight that consumers today are constantly exploring and discovering. “They are willing to carry change along with them to grow. They want to be bold and actively seek what is new and different. Zee Café has thus lined up incredible shows across genres to offer the audience maximum choice instead of limiting itself to one or two specific themes. For instance, we have fantasy shows like ‘Shannara Chronicles’ and crime thriller shows like ‘Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders’ airing in the primetime slot,” he said.
Getting closer to the US: Not surprisingly, the channel has boosted efforts in this area. “We have always been showing the latest shows, along with the US. Earlier we used to air shows within a day of the US premiere, but now we have shortened the gap and bring it to our audience within few hours of the US premiere,” Zaidi said.

Funimation Films confirmed on Monday that Makoto Shinkai's your name. (Kimi no Na wa.) anime film is on the official consideration list for the Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature at the 89th annual Academy Awards. The submission deadline to be considered for the award was November 1.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will select five films from the list as nominations for the award. The full list of submissions has not yet been announced.
The film's Oscar-qualifying theatrical run will take place from December 2-8 at Los Angeles' Laemmle Music Hall. Films can be submitted before their week-long qualifying run in a Los Angeles County theater as long as their qualifying run is eventually confirmed.
Funimation is planning a broader theatrical release for the first quarter of 2017.
As of Monday, 77 days after the film opened in Japan, your name. has earned 17.97 billion yen (about US$172 million).
The film has now surpassed the eighth highest-grossing film (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at 17.3 billion yen) and the seventh highest-grossing film (Bayside Shakedown 2 at 17.35 billion yen) to become the seventh highest-grossing film of all time in Japan. The film is also the fourth highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan, and the fourth highest-grossing anime film in Japan.
The three highest-grossing Japanese films in Japan include Spirited Away (30.8 billion yen),Howl's Moving Castle (19.6 billion yen) andPrincess Mononoke (19.3 billion yen). your name. is projected to possibly approach 20 billion yen (US$200 million).
The film's "story of miracles and love" revolves around Mitsuha and Taki. Mitsuha is a female high school student who lives in a rural town nestled deep in the mountains. Her father is the mayor and isn't at home much, and she lives with her elementary school-aged little sister and her grandmother. Mitsuha has an honest personality, but she doesn't like the customs of her family's Shinto shrine, nor does she like her father participating in an election campaign. She laments that she lives in a confined rural town, and yearns for the wonderful lifestyle of living in Tokyo.
Taki is a male high school student who lives in central Tokyo. He spends time with his friends, works part-time at an Italian restaurant, and is interested in architecture and fine arts. One day, Mitsuha has a dream where she is a young man. Taki also has a dream where he is a female high school student in a town in the mountains that he has never been to. What is the secret to their dreams of personal experience?

Moto M With Metal Body, 3050mAh Battery Goes Official
Lenovo is expected to launch the Moto M alongside the Lenovo P2 in China on Tuesday, however even before the event begins, the company has listed the Moto M smartphone on its website. The listing reveals that the Motorola Moto M is priced at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 19,700), and comes with a fingerprint scanner at the back and an 8-megapixel front camera.
The smartphone's Gold colour option is listed on the company's China site, and was first reported by MyDrivers. It retains the capsule-like camera module at the back seen on most Moto smartphones these days. The Moto M sports a full metal unibody design with antenna bands running on the top and bottom edges. The volume and power buttons are on the right edge, and the navigation buttons are fitted on screen. Because the fingerprint sensor is housed right below the camera capsule, the Moto logo has shifted to the bottom of the device.
This listing has gone live soon after the promotional images were leaked. The design and build pretty much resonates with what has been leaked earlier. As for specifications, the Moto M sports mid-range specifications with a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display. It is powered by a 2.2GHz MediaTek Helio P15 octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM. The smartphone offers 32GB of inbuilt storage, but no details about storage expansion have been provided.
For photography, the Moto M sports a 16-megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash, and PDAF. There's also a 8-megapixel front sensor for video chats and selfie photography. The smartphone packs a 3050mAh battery to keep the lights on, and also comes with support for fast charging. The listing claims that the Moto M comes with a double layer nano-coating to protect it from drizzle, spills and splashes.
While most of the specifications are now official, the company still may have withheld some information for the big stage. As mentioned, the Lenovo P2 and the Moto M are expected to be announced officially at an event later today.
