Okosi took over leadership of BET International in 2017 and has continued to advance the value of the brand internationally delivering double-digit distribution growth and improving profitability and margins. Under Okosi’s leadership, BET International elevated its presence at the BET Awards by incorporating the “Best International Act” award into the live broadcast, which simulcasted live in Africa for the first time. In addition, BET International expanded its presence during the BET “Hip Hop Awards” by launching a new category to honor artists from around the world.

“I am proud to have had the opportunity to build our Africa business from the ground up,” said Okosi. “This has played a pivotal role in transforming the music and content space and changing the narrative on Africa. Leading our Africa and BET International businesses to success is testament to the extraordinary teams, colleagues and partners that I have worked with throughout my tenure. ViacomCBS has been my home for more than 20 fantastic years, and I leave behind incredible creative and commercial talent that will continue to deliver growth.”

David Lynn, President & CEO of ViacomCBS Networks International added, “I’m immensely grateful to Alex for his contribution to the success of VCNI, including his role in developing such a strong team of successors. Alex’s leadership has been essential to our success in Africa and to the continued growth of BET International.”

VCN Africa Leadership Team:

Effective March 1, 2020, Monde Twala and Craig Paterson will assume their new roles as General Managers of VCN Africa.

As co-head of the business, Twala, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Editorial VCN Africa, will focus on content, creative, editorial and marketing for VCNI brands. Twala is currently the Vice President of ViacomCBS Networks Africa’s BET, Youth & Music, ViacomCBS Networks International and Africa. Twala is responsible for driving the development and growth of iconic music, youth and entertainment brands BET, MTV, MTV Base and MTV Music24, across the African continent. Monde joined the company in 2016 after nearly 20 years’ experience in the South African broadcasting and media industry.

Paterson, Senior Vice President & General Manager, VCN Africa, will be responsible for all corporate functions, including business development and strategy. Currently Senior Vice President, Business Operations for ViacomCBS Networks Africa, Paterson is responsible for driving strategic growth and business opportunities in Africa. Prior to this role, Paterson was responsible for Operations and Finance for multimedia brands MTV, MTV Music24, Nickelodeon, Nick Toons, Nick Junior, MTV Base, BET and Comedy Central on the African continent. He spent nearly five years at Viacom beginning in 2011 as VP of Operations and Finance in Africa and returned to the company in 2018 as Senior Vice President of Business Operations in Africa.

“I am delighted that Craig and Monde will take over leadership in this important market,” said Annecchino. “Both have worked with Alex for years, which coupled with their expertise will ensure a seamless transition.

The key objective of the festival is to give the urban child an outlet to be creative, to gain information and to encourage quality time with family through recreational experiences curated at the festival. Another reason for which a kid should be taken to the festival is to get outdoors and reconnect with nature. To touch, feel, see and be a part of the beautiful outdoors, which unfortunately has been forgotten by everyone. Here are some of the things that one can expect at Nickelodeon WindMill 2020 that will get both parents and children excited:

Creativity: In today's time what kids need is an opportunity to explore different activities and also get a chance to take break from books and think beyond. A few exciting activities that one can definitely explore at the WindMill festival are 'Djembe Workshop' which is a fun filled energetic drum circle for all ages alike, 'Banana Piano, Cuica and Sound Tubes' where one can invent a new musical instrument using fruits and everyday objects. 'Happy and Footloose' which is a unique sport with a holistic combination of martial art, music, dance, language and performance arts; and fluid art amongst the others.

Outdoor activities: The fest has many exciting activities where the kids will get an opportunity to learn new things. This will help to not only boost their imagination skills as they are physically and mentally involved interacting with other kids but will also improve their social and communication skills. Activities like 'Pottery on Wheels Workshop', a theatre workshop and 'Mindfulness Mandalas' an art of Zentangles & Mandalas touches on the creative edge in every child.

Bonding with kids: Windmill aims to create moments between parents and children that can be cherished for a lifetime. A food and flea market that is specially curated for the tastes and likings of the families. This festival freshness brings along new hopes, aspirations and a chance to strengthen the ties between parent and child.

Unique experiences: This unique festival brings in a lot more to explore and is ready to take everyone on an adventurous ride. Activities that are rarely seen in a kids festival are 'S.H.E.(SIMPLE, HANDY, EFFECTIVE )' which is a self-defense workshop for all, 'TINGA TINGA & TURKISH MOSAIC WITH POMEGRANATE' where one can travel the world with Tinga Tinga Art and Turkish Mosaic and many more. Robotics, Lego and science experiments amongst other to inspire young minds at the festival.

An Indian IP For Kids: Brands Collaborating With Windmill Look To Create Meaningful, Interactive Conversations

MUMBAI: The 4th edition of Nickelodeon Windmill Festival, an initiative by Event Capital and Tribe Asia, will take place on 22nd – 23rd February 2020 at JioWorld Garden, BKC. Having grown into India’s largest children’s outdoor festival, Windmill has brought on board sponsors like Hershey’s, Kotak Mutual Funds, Soulfull, V-Nourish, Toppscholars, WOK, Sarda Farms, Laughing Cow, Enrich and Club Mahindra who are looking to create deeper brand connects with consumers.

The need of the hour today is to better understand children as consumers, and communicate with this segment in an impactful, integrated manner. Windmill as a platform is built as a fun, safe and interactive environment which attracts hundreds of parents and children year on year.

Commenting on the upcoming event, Janak Vora, CEO, Event Capital said, “We are pleased to announce our sponsors for the 4th edition of Nickelodeon Windmill Festival. With the support of brands collaborating with us, we look forward to provide a better platform for them to engage with families in the best way possible. Our aim is to encourage families to step out and involve their kids to discover their inner passion and interact with various brands as well.”

Brands coming on board have chosen the platform as a less intrusive form of marketing, as it enables the brand to start a relationship with potential customers and strengthen the bond with existing customers effortlessly. As compared to in your face advertising, playing a pivotal role enhancing a kid’s experience builds a positive recall value which works wonders for a brand.

The collaborations have all come on board with a purpose in mind and are perfect brand fits to avoid mindless clutter.

Brands who have chosen to collaborate with Windmill have similar sentiments in mind.

Commenting on this, Rasika Prashant, CMO, Soulfull said,”Windmill Festival has been a tent pole partnership for Soulfull.

Connecting at a platform with which WindMill comes in the market is a great way to reach children with different backgrounds, age and sensibilities.

We recognize that these pieces aren't just toys but unique pieces of collectible, colorful art that celebrate iconic pop culture."

Fans looking to grab the kaiju-based Godzilla Bhunny figure, the first in the series, will be able to snag him by subscribing to the March 2020 box from Loot Crate, the exclusive seller of the toy.

K-Pop Supergroup Monsta X Records 'All That' Performance

K-pop supergroup and worldwide phenomenon Monsta X recently filmed a performance on Nickelodeon's legendary All That stage! The recording took place during their whirlwind two week tour of the U.S.

To celebrate, the group shared a selection of photos from their appearance on All That on their official Twitter feed, including with the band hanging out with the stars of All That. Monsta X's episode of Nickelodeon's hit sketch comedy series will air in the coming months.

The news comes as their brand new album ALL ABOUT LUV debuted at a very respectable No. 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart. “The set, which is the act’s first all-English language album, launches with 52,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 20, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. Of that sum, 50,000 are in album sales,” reports Billboard.

The album makes history, with ALL ABOUT LUV marking the first all English-language album released by a K-pop group ever. This highly anticipated release has garnered a sky-rocketing trajectory of success

In order to celebrate the album's arrival, the group launched a series of sold out events across the U.S., as well as immersive activations, and television appearances on Nickelodeon’s All That, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Today Show. The Monsta X U.S. takeover started in LA, from shutting down the Sunset Strip with police escorts riding in Jaguars, to hosting an ALL ABOUT LUV pop-up at the iconic Tower Records, and a fan event at the world-famous Roxy. Rolling Stone got a glimpse of the pandemonium stating: “you heard it in the screams of hundreds of sleep-deprived fans who packed the legendary Roxy Nightclub in Hollywood for a private Monsta X performance, and then snaked a line down four blocks of Sunset Boulevard.” The band wrapped up their two-week promotion on the East Coast, with more fan meetings, performances, live Q&A’s, and sold out events at Chelsea Music Hall, The Paramount, and YouTube Space NYC.

This summer, Monsta X kick off their biggest North American headline tour to date. Hitting arenas coast-to-coast, it begins June 2 in Minneapolis, MN at The Armory, rolling through major markets, and closes out at The Forum on July 11. Tickets are available here.

All That airs Saturdays at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. The series, a revival of Nickelodeon's iconic '90s sketch comedy show, was recently renewed for 10 additional episodes.

Fans can vote for All That in the 2020 Kids' Choice Awards at http://www.kidschoiceawards.com!
