Well, with adult animated content and potentially future online content, that commercial strategy of how shows are promoted and produced could be set for a revolution that won\u2019t be televised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/brand-marketing\/understanding-the-value-add-of-nfts\/\" target=\"_blank\">The boom of the non-fungible token<\/a>\u00a0(NFT) over the last year might have caused a great deal of cynicism as to how viable the purchase of digital IP at eye watering prices might be. But it\u2019s already proving a vehicle for funding online entertainment\u2014with animated series beginning to appear, tapping into the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such series titled\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.therealgimmicks.com\/episodes\" target=\"_blank\">The Gimmicks<\/a>\u00a0could be seen as a test case for the sector. Created by the web 3.0 animation studio Toonstar, which will produce 20 short episodes with Sixth Wall, featuring a group of former WWE wrestlers, the series will rely on those buying NFTs connected to the show to access exclusive content. This will test the viability of such a commercial strategy through community building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adweek.com\/media\/how-nfts-are-helping-produce-an-animated-series-on-wrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at AdWeek<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from AdWeek How NFTs Are Helping Produce an Animated Series on Wrestling The Gimmicks is being developed by Sixth Wall and Toon Stars, featuring former WWE stars By\u00a0Stephen Lepitak The Gimmicks could be seen as a test case for the sector, writes Stephen Lepitak.\u00a0Sixth Wall\/Toonstars Remember when Saturday morning cartoons were funded mostly to promote [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12029\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
