MUMBAI: Zee Classic and Zee TV bagged awards for excellence in Public Relations at the Asian Customer Engagement Forum (ACEF) Awards held on 27th September in Mumbai. Zee Classic’s ‘The Bimal Roy Festival with Boman Irani’ won the Gold ACEF award in the Marketing Capability category for the Best PR Campaign while Zee TV’s ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2016’ won the Bronze ACEF award in the Marketing Capability category for the Best PR Campaign. ACEF Awards recognizes excellence in the field of customer engagement campaigns and activities across Asia. It provides an ideal platform for recognition and learning in perhaps the most critical, emerging area of content creation.

Zee Classic has always been at the forefront in conceptualizing and executing public relations campaigns that ensure a holistic brand experience. One such successful campaign was ‘The Bimal Roy Fetival with Boman Irani’ bagging the Gold award qualifying in the judging criteria including Innovation, Measurability, Strategy, Budgets, Results and Relevance. The festival was promoted through The Bimal Roy Retrospective in Mumbai, media interactions with Rinki Roy Bhattacharya, Joy Bimal Roy, Press Conference with Boman Irani, Radio, and snippets revolving around unknown trivia about the movies and featuring artists.

Zee TV’s PR campaign for ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ revitalized the iconic brand by highlighting the re-invention of its format and the introduction of a 30 member jury panel for the first time on Indian television, thereby making it relevant to contemporary audiences. Be it a ‘press concert’ organized in Mumbai with the current season’s talent performing alongside former contestants and the show’s mentors, a Top 10 talent showcase concert in Gujarat or the sustained week-on-week buzz kept alive through a slew of news stories appearing across key publications and top news channels ensured that the contestants became household names all through this immensely successful season of the show.

Moving away from just creating hype on celebrity power, the approach for Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa campaign was one of making a hero of the common man, and built the contestants every step of the way till the Grand Finale held in Goa. The PR campaign for Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2016 is the No 1 amongst all singing reality shows’ PR campaigns across GEC’s in terms of overall season coverage across mediums including TV, online and leading Indian publications in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati in the last 5 years.

MUMBAI: BBC Worldwide will be launching three new factual entertainment titles, ‘Motorheads’, ‘Million Dollar Car Hunters’ and ‘Ice Town: Life on the Edge’ at the television trade event Mipcom 2016 that takes place later this month in Cannes, France.

‘Motorheads’ presenters Tom Ford and Jonny Smith will both be in attendance at the market to give buyers a sneak peek of the 10 part series celebrating a mash up of motoring and pop culture. Wendy Rattray, executive producer of Ice Town: Life on the Edge and Simon Everson and Jon-Barrie Waddell, the producers of Million Dollar Car Hunters, will also be present at the event.

BBC Worldwide head of factual entertainment lifestyle Andrea Olsson said, “When done well, factual entertainment has the power to inspire, entertain and enlighten. This market, BBC Worldwide is proud to allow viewers a rare glimpse of otherwise hard to access worlds in ‘Ice Town’ and ‘Million Dollar Car Hunter’, offering an edge of the seat sense of adventure and escapism and we’re thrilled to bring back by popular demand the very entertaining partnership of Jonny and Wookie in ‘Motorheads’.”

‘Motorheads’ pulls together, all in one place, footage of stunts, feats of mechanical mayhem or shocking driving fails. Tom and Jonny are also inspired to create their own car-based craziness, pitting their driving prowess against some of the most outrageous motoring feats on the web and inviting some of the most popular online motoring stars into the studios to test their skills.

‘Ice Town: Life on the Edge’ promises story-lines to rival fiction in another character-led series set in the world’s most northerly town – Svalbard. Situated midway between Norway and the North Pole, Svalbard is home to unique expat community of over 40 nationalities and ‘Ice Town’ follows the lives of some of the characters who have made this place their home.

‘Million Dollar Car Hunters’ has exclusive access to RM Sotheby’s – the world’s biggest classic car auctioneers – as it follows their experts drawing on detective skills and networking prowess, to unearth iconic, classic and unique cars for their wealthy clients. The series captures all the excitement of the detective trail, as well as the nail-biting tension of the auction itself. Will they get to the car first ahead of rival auction houses? Will the super-rich turn up to bid?

MUMBAI: GRB Entertainment is bringing three new Spanish-language titles to the television trade event Mipcom in Cannes, France later this month including a comedic feature film, an investigative series and a wildlife programme.

‘Enchufe Sin Visa: An Undocumented Comedy’ is a comedic feature film from YouTube’s EnchufeTV (over 12 million subscribers) and follows six Latinos traveling to the US for the first time.

‘Fugitivos de la Ley’ features a team of real-life bail and fugitive recovery agents as they track down the roughest criminals on the run.

Outfitted in bullet-proof vests and armed with guns and street-smarts, these former marines and police officers will stop at nothing to protect their neighborhoods.

‘The Wildlife Docs’ is an amazing wildlife adventure showcasing 12,000 exotic animals and the doctors who care for them. Immerse yourself in the drama as precious animal lives are on the line and witness as real wildlife heroes treat animals of every stripe and colour, from exotic and endangered, to the cute and cuddly. This is an exciting inside look into the world of zoo veterinarians and the untold stories of the animal ER.
