Tinsel Sponsor's AIRTEL fails in Guerrilla Marketing Plan

Indian owned telecom company, Airtel have tried to maximize their sponsorship of the Tv series Tinsel by telling the cast and writers to mention the name of their network in the story. It was seen as a powerful placement ad that the company wanted and had even gotten the writers to be making sure most scenes with calls have the actors call the network name and praise it.

However their plans were foiled when most of the senior actors demanded to be paid before applying this open form of endorsement.

Insidetinseltown.blogspot.com was reliably informed that scenes of Tiki K's mothers call with her husband in Kwara were deleted and re-acted again because there was so much call of the network Airtel that it became too obvious.

hmmm..why doesn't Airtel just endorse some of the actors/actresses ala Glo?....why the cheap method?

Tinsel Cast Departure---RMD to the rescue

RMD set to return to Tinsel

Reports reaching us seems to indicate that veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo will be recalled to the show after a series of departures in order to save the quality of the casts.

RMD who played Angela's father left Tinsel a few months ago citing personal challenges and high work load as a commissioner in Delta State. In fact it was gathered that RMD's initial stint was just to appear as a cameo in a few episodes but he was so refreshingly different that a storyline was centered around him.

This was a challenging period as he had to be shooting scene after scene almost all weekends he was in the role and this took a toll on him and his job.

However, he is poised to return now to uplift the show and an agreement has been reached to minimize his appearances. It was easy to recall RMD because unlike some of the other casts, he did not leave for financial issues. It was all about his lack of time. His return may coincide with the return of Matilda Obaseki, the original Angela Dede.

Tare's Departure confirmed! Insidetinseltown.blogspot.com vindicated.

Tinsel in bid to Boost Popularity Crossesover with Changes And The Wild

                                       

Ian Roberts and Victor Olaotan (Fred Ade-Williams ) may meet on our screens as Tinsel cross with The Wild

Producers of MNET's popular Tv series Tinsel are set to do a series of crossovers very soon. This is in a bid to boost popularity of their programs across the continent. Tinsel may be doing some crossover with east African series Changes and South African series The Wild.

The crossover with Changes seems in a bid to smoothen out Lizz Njagah's (Tara Duke of Tinsel) move to Changes. Lizz who has left Tinsel to go back home to Kenya will be appearing in the series Changes.

However, the cross over with The Wild is seen as a bid to spike popularity and rating across the continent as Tinsel bids to gain more syndicated money. While The Wild is very successful internationally and makes a lot of money from syndication, Tinsel's main income seems to be coming from their Nigerian Sponsors and advertisers.

This will not be the first time the network has planned crossovers win Tinsel. There was an unsuccessful attempt to cross over Tinsel with popular series Jacob's Cross two seasons ago.
