Jon Cudo’s Post

This post is a throwback to when Cya Live was called Synaptop and when the CEO & Founder of Cya Live, Sami Siddique pitched the idea of Cya Live to the Dragon Investors of Dragons' Den which is the equivalent to the American Reality TV Show on ABC Shark Tank. The pitch of Cya Live to the Dragon Investors was flawless and you have to watch the video to see if Sami and Cya Live got the investment from the Dragons. Fast forward to 2024 and the Cya Live platform has come a long way to when Cya Live was featured on Dragons' Den. In the pitch, Cya Live was more of a fan engagement interactive real-time platform focusing more on how stakeholders from consumers/users can consume entertainment content watching movies or TV Shows together and being able to interact and engage in real-time through video chat and text chat while watching entertainment content together anywhere around the world. In 2024, Cya Live has taken that interactive communication a step further where stakeholders from consumers/users/influencers/creators/celebrities/athletes/gamers/presenters, large brands and marketing agencies could use the premier fan engagement, social commerce and social media platform to purchase any type of merchandise/apparel/tickets for exclusive virtual and hybrid events or meet & greet or product launch, consume sports & entertainment and livestream shopping content in an interactive, engaging and immersive way and become a fan all-in-one place and platform. Cya Live has taken collaboration, engagement and transactions which are the 3 pillars of Cya Live to a whole new level where all of these functions can be done all-in-one platform. As live streaming of major sports, entertainment, livestreamshopping and Esports events evolve with all the major streaming giants in the marketplace and with the way Gen Zs consume live sports & entertainment, livestream shopping and Esports content, Cya Live can be a great partner of many streaming services adding all the interactive, engaging and immersive features that are part of the Cya Live premier all-in-one platform. https://lnkd.in/gdxXTRaW #investmentpitch #investment #investors #dragons #dragonsden #sharktank #technology #innovation #allinone #platform #sports #entertainment #livestreamshopping #fanengagement #socialcommerce #socialmedia #creatoreconomy #influencers #creators #athletes #celebrities #gamers #esports #ecommerce #merchandise #apparel #genz #genzmarketing #contentcreation #brandengagement #stakeholders #agencies #marketing #marketingdigital #digital #digitalmarketing #digitalexperience #interactive #immersive #immersiveexperience #videochat #textchat #livestreaming #stream #telecommunications #tvshows #movies #watchparty #filmfestivals #productlaunch #global #throwback #virtualevents #hybridevents #concerts #venues #broadcast #broadcasting

How do you turn customers into brand ambassadors? 🏹 Hands down, Baldur's Gate 3 won the Game of the Year award at #TheGameAwards 2023! 🏆 Larian Studios pulled off an incredible revival of a legendary RPG series and even the genre itself. 🙌 But even more impressive was their community-driven approach almost 3 years in early access. They turned players into true partners through constant feedback loops - a masterclass in building a product! 💯 In digital marketing, we always wonder: How do you turn customers into brand ambassadors? The answer is here. This level of transparency and collaboration fosters serious brand loyalty. And it pays off hugely in word-of-mouth promotion when you finally launch! 🚀 I can't wait to jump back in and gather my party for my 3rd run. Yet I'm even more excited to apply this approach while building my side project. 🧙🏻♂️ Building with your customers seems tough, but the bonds and advocacy you earn make all the difference! 🤝 #communitybuilding #baldursgate3

Good morning. This month’s issue of Deal Talk is devoted to the market leaders in the US sports-betting and iCasino space and asks the question: to what extent does the fact of DraftKings Inc. and FanDuel moving towards profitability change the nature of the market? 💰 Within two years, the market leaders are expected to generate adj. EBITDA in the range of $1bn each. 🌳 But what are they going to do with their growing cash piles? 🛣 Options for each differ due to their current, and future, circumstances, but they include stockpiling for use in a still-growing US market, handing some of the profits back to shareholders and, of course, M&A. #standwithukraine #betting #gaming 👇👇👇

120 million people watched the Super Bowl last night. That’s a lot of potential coffee drinkers. Did you crave a cold brew or iced coffee this am? Last night’s Super Bowl wasn’t just a showcase of top-tier sportsmanship; it was a caffeine-fueled evening that has us all buzzing - literally! Two giants of the coffee world, Stok Cold Brew and Dunkin™️ took to the grand stage with spectacular commercials. Stok brewed up a storm with their audacious support for the Wrexham Football Club, featuring the fiery red dragon mascot and none other than the legendary Anthony Hopkins. Talk about blending the worlds of sports, drama, and coffee with impeccable style! Thanks to Rob and Ryan for owning the team the past 4 years ( checkout their story on Hulu) ( oh yeah - it’s also the year of the dragon - happy new year) Then, Dunkin™️ turned up the charm with the return of Ben Affleck with Matt Damon, Jennifer Lopez, and Tom Brady, giving us a taste of Hollywood glamour with their favorite cup of Joe. It’s not every day you see such icons banding together for the love of coffee! (You can buy DunKings™️ swag at ShopDunkin - watch for restocking of these already sold out track suits) These commercials are a testament to the creative genius in advertising and the universal love for coffee. It’s thrilling to see coffee taking center stage on one of the biggest nights in sports, highlighting the growing desire for cold crew and iced coffee. As a devout coffee lover, I see this as a brilliant example of how passion can meet professionalism and create something truly memorable. Let’s take inspiration from these innovative approaches to marketing and remember that with the right blend of creativity and strategy, we can caffeinate our entrepreneurial dreams. Let’s brew your own business together! #ZensationalLifestyle #Entrepreneurship #CoffeeLovers #SuperBowlCommercials #StokColdBrew #DunkinDonuts #MarketingGenius #CreativityInBusiness https://lnkd.in/e2eFzyps https://lnkd.in/eUYVXTJD

What's the future of crossmedia #advertising? And how to measure it? At FLUZO we strongly believe that the future must include as much of the media that supports advertising as possible, and that also means advertising supported #videogames. The question remains the same: How much ads on videogames contribute to our campaigns #reach vs the other media? How they help to balance frequency and avoid waste? what's the contribution to attention and success? Just a hint... the GTA VI ad trailer was viewed x3 more by the low TV viewers, and got 53% reach on the 18-24 y/o.... Discover the full research here (and remember, FLUZO is the future of crossmedia measurement in 13 countries and counting): https://lnkd.in/d6_ywY_q
