The Tennessean and Consensus Point have teamed up once again to launch Tennessean Ticker. Tennessean Ticker is a stock market style game that predicts the outcomes of events that cover a wide range of topics, from basketball to politics to Oscar winners and everything in between. Will Romney have the most votes on Super Tuesday? Who will be presented with the rose on The Bachelor? Will the University of Kentucky make it to the Final Four? These are just a few of the questions that the Tennessean.com audience can expect to answer.
Tennessean Ticker makes the news fun again!
In the game, participants browse categories of questions and choose those questions that they feel the most confident about. Players receive points that they use to answer questions and express their level of confidence in their answer. The answers are collected to provide a likelihood that that event will actually occur.
Tennessean Ticker is a follow-up to the Tennessean.com’s successful Football Futures market which brought new users to Tennessean.com and engaged readers in an entirely different way. The goal of Tennessean Ticker is to reach a broad audience by providing a wider range of questions and to create an interactive relationship with readers. Linda Rebrovick, CEO of Consensus Point believes that this will create a new type of relationship between readers and media outlets, “Our platform provides a new way for media outlets to engage their audience while creating content at the same time.”
Tennessean Ticker predicts future events using the same Consensus Point technology that research companies, government agencies, Fortune 500 companies such as GE and Motorola utilize. Consensus Point is a leading prediction market research company providing the next generation of intelligence for research and media markets. Their new Huunu platform enables companies to aggregate knowledge in a market environment to predict future events and market preferences.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Tennessean through the launch of ‘Tennessean Ticker’. The Tennessean team continues to set the pace in their industry by leveraging our ‘Huunu’ prediction market platform to engage and entertain their audience while creating real-time, valuable user driven digital content for their media channels. Tennessean fans will enjoy the challenge of predicting the future to prove they are right,” said Linda Rebrovick, CEO of Consensus Point.
