How about the cooperation with Nippon TV? How did it come up?
Nippon formats happen to be quite original and fun, we licensed and/or produced some in Turkey in the previous years. Co developing with them has been a great opportunity for us. Baby Shower idea came from Sera film and online developing sessions between two parties over the last year took it to a fun and brisk level appealing to all audiences globally.

We received a lot of interest on Baby Shower upon Mipcom launch. Think recently started broadcasting in Romania on Channel D and getting impressive results. We are hoping to close various deals for all the titles we launched this MIP.
