Ticker to open new studio

Streaming tech start-up Ticker is moving to a 250sqm warehouse-style studio development in Richmond, east of Melbourne’s CBD.

Dubbed the “Ticker Loft”, Studio 1 will house an open plan newsroom and large studio for news and interview program Ticker Today, featuring the latest tech and business news and interviews with startup founders and CEOs.

Studio 2 will be a multi-purpose studio featuring large LED screens and the ability to create different looks for different shows quickly. Studio 3 will feel like a bar, allowing hosts to go between studios during shows.

Ticker Founder and CEO Ahron Young says: “Richmond and Cremorne have been dubbed Silicon Yarra – as Australia’s answer to Silicon Valley, with a huge number of startups and entrepreneurs calling the area home.”

“Richmond also witnessed the birth of television in Victoria thanks to Channel Nine.

“While the traditional TV model is coming under pressure, there are huge opportunities for streaming multi-media businesses like Ticker,” Young says.

Ticker Commercial & Partnerships Director Jed Bertalli added, “We currently produce 25 hours of content a week and our brand new facility will enable us to multiply that. The three studios have been purposely deigned to maximise both Ticker programming and productions. We are the one-stop-shop for businesses to create credible content.

“Plenty more programs are on the way, covering everything from the business of weddings, and change in every industry. Our integrated sponsorship opportunities are proving more effective than traditional advertising, with Ticker content reaching well over 3.6 million Australians in the month of February alone.”

The building is currently undergoing major renovations.

Ticker currently broadcasts live on the website, the iOS app, Twitter, Youtube Live and Facebook Live. You can also watch Ticker live on Amazon Alexa devices. Over coming weeks it will add streaming Apps for Apple TV, iOS, Android TV and mobile devices.
