Eurogamer to supply content to KISS
Press Release
Brighton, England, May 16 2006: Eurogamer Network today announces that it has agreed to supply video games content to properties across the hugely popular KISS brand, including radio, TV and mobile properties as well as online editorial for the newly launched KISS100.com gaming offering (www.kiss100.com/gaming) and cheats content for regular podcasts.
The KISS brand engages more than 7 million consumers every
month in the UK through various platforms such as Radio, TV,
Online and Mobile and the brand will be seeing a relaunch
later on
this summer.
KISS Commercial Director, Kurt Edwards, said: "The KISS community are passionate not only about music but gaming, fashion and clubbing - and research was telling us that gaming was playing an ever more important role in their lives, so this link up with Eurogamer allows us to offer them the credible gaming content they want."
The partnership will be promoted through all of KISS's platforms and the presenters will be introducing gaming into the fabric of the station through weekly competitions, reviews and eventually "live" gaming events.
Eurogamer's Business Development Manager, Patrick Garratt said: "We're extremely pleased to be working with KISS on the brand's gaming proposition. This deal is the latest step in further expanding the reach of Eurogamer's content."
"The online games media market in the UK has become very competitive, but Eurogamer demonstrated a real willingness to do things differently along with a refreshing flexibility in delivering ideas. I'm delighted to be working with them", added Edwards.
