Agreements for Mourinho and Special Ones - Trading Card Game
with two leading Portuguese distributors
Sports Stars, the Portuguese based sports animation and media
company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into agreements
with two new distribution partners, for the distribution and
marketing of Sports Stars' Mourinho and Special Ones - Trading Card
Game ("MTC"), initially within Portugal. The agreements are with
the multi-national distributor FNAC group and the Portuguese based
media distributor VASP.
FNAC, www.fnac.com, is the leading distributor of DVDs, CDs and
consumer electronics in France and a major distributor in Portugal,
Spain and Belgium as well as having a presence in Brazil, Italy and
Switzerland. Under the terms of its agreement it will distribute
the MTC through a minimum of 1000 points of sale throughout
Portugal.
VASP is Portugal's leading distributor for media related
products and has an extensive range of sales channels including
hypermarkets and supermarkets throughout the country. It also has a
particularly strong presence in direct marketing.
Both of these distribution agreements follow the broadcast deal
signed with the Portuguese TV channel SIC, announced on 28 May, for
the right to air 'Mourinho and the Special Ones' ("MSO"), an
animated television series featuring Jose Mourinho. The Mourinho
Trading Card Game uses augmented reality elements embedded on the
cards to help teach children football skills that they will have
seen on the MSO TV series. The TV series will be broadcast
commencing 31st August 2013 as part of the SIC children's "back to
school" programming.
Fernando Guedes da Silva, Sales Director of VASP, Portugal's
leading media distributor said:
"We were very impressed with the overall quality of this
project, right from the start. The animation looks great, the
integrated brand concept is very exciting and the massive 750 GRP
TV Campaign makes sure that they've got a winner. We are really
looking forward to working with SSM on this."
Ruben Dias CEO Sports Star Media commented:
"We are delighted to have entered into these distribution
agreements which will enable us to meet the demand for the trading
card game which will be driven by the airing of the MSO series on
SIC at the end of August. Both VASP, which is owned by three of the
largest media distributors in Portugal, and FNAC are important
partners who, along with SIC, will ensure that the launch of the
MSO project in Mourinho's country of birth will be powerful and
effective and set the blueprint for similar deals around the
world."
