World’s First Edutainment Games Channels

Newtime is launching the world’s first dedicated “edutainment” games channels to showcase its new and exciting array of educational and entertainment game shows - English and Finance 101, all to the massive children’s audience on the Internet and mobile phones!

Newtimes’ competitive advantage is that our futuristic and exhilarating games channels with all the fun and exciting Marz and Venus mobile and merchandising learning systems, will be fully embraced by parents who truly recognise value for money children’s content. These parents will invest in children’s new age communication technologies to give their child the best start in learning.

The purpose of our games channels is to also build brand equity for the PipSqks, build valued loyalty amongst our young audiences, and to become the leader in next generation edutainment learning systems. Attracting visitors to our game channels time and time again is critical to building growth, market value and revenues, but Newtime will not be relying solely on our members “eyeballs” and partner advertising to generate the majority of revenues and/or dictate growth plans.

Our exciting PipSqk games channels have been designed based on the key deliverables of reaching important customer mass, engaging children through entertaining, while still having a balanced content rollout profile for education.
