Wattpad, the social network for readers and writers, has tapped Bavaria Fiction as its production partner for German-speaking markets.<\/p>\n

The platform has some 4 million writers in its online community who have shared more than 500 million stories, and it is already working with the likes of Universal Cable Productions, AwesomenessTV, Sony Pictures Television, Entertainment One and CW Seed, among others. In Wattpad’s first European alliance, Bavaria Fiction will be able to develop original IP from the pool of German-language stories on Wattpad. Wattpad’s 1.3 million users in German-speaking territories spend an average of 10 million minutes on the platform every day.

\n\u201cEntertainment companies around the world are recognizing the importance of data-based decision-making,\u201d said Aron Levitz, head of Wattpad Studios. \u201cDevelopment doesn\u2019t need to rely on guesswork or instinct. The new model we\u2019re building across the industry uses real insights from millions of users and billions of data points, resulting in more wins. We\u2019re thrilled to work with Bavaria Fiction to bring our game-changing model to the German market.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jan Kaiser, managing director of Bavaria Fiction, said, \u201cIn this continuing competitive era in which \u2018Content is King\u2019 we have decided to not only seek viewers, but views. Getting on board ideas earlier, using existing data and B2C channels are a key part of production businesses like ours evolving in the digital age, with the added bonus of bringing more of German-speaking creators\u2019 talent to screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
