11:47 am
mation demonstrate the great level of involvement really engaged in nation indifference of all of the select of the most beloved rascals and because of the choice of majority or the walters we received one point five million calls and someone else and it was metherell shows of all of the why this. audience in our country covered nine times on us and the most important things in the time frame when the people could express their wishes for one or another one muscle it was very narrow it was literally seven minutes for every time zone when the people were able to call so this is really used to ration the majority of the people expressed the wish and now we have siri mascots which
11:48 am
import all of the pain sixty five percent of the share of those who are called in or sent in the s.m.s. and they represent and it is there on the majority of our conference. well after. because the winners were announced there was a lot of criticism a very even the president. realized and head and he actually spotted the difference between the online voting and the results announced on television how would you comment on any recall in the moscow election campaign. when the state leaders were involved in this. process of the first of all we have to understand that. the major target audience children five plus and if children's love and i ask you that will the success of this company. really happy that i was state leaders also
11:49 am
participated because they have children and i must say to the patient for their five plus plus plus a realization doesn't. rule with people in some way. and. there were no criticism from the president it just was wondering why it was a different. result of the voting for the internet suv way for those who was calling. my forms and saying i'm a summons but it's a normal it's unnatural because the audience i lived through different but the was a coincide the two leaders so was over over them personal letter and the mission of the beer they were unbeatable for was its release and all media audience and for the internet media the only difference was with the here and there really is that it wow that was a good. but i can predict that the might be because.
11:50 am
the performance so this wonderful animal in combination with the well known switching but so dimitri belong in the same group with a very famous for the female part of that would you believe it was a result the women were calling him move him for the hair. the. i mean the images that we saw when the voting where nine and and then which we see right now here in this big screen they look pretty fresh from the computer would it be. any facelift i mean when we do will we see the final version the final look how those of those mascots better because i predict there will be some some changes in the image is that true there will be improvement there will be growing there will be months through the new ability to perform with a different kind of spore there will be
11:51 am
a dress you know so there are many many way to many of them now we've got the games to look at this wonderful. so that's probably will prepare some scarf. killed or whatever it is it's true is it true that you're going to turn the olympics symbols of a patchwork of the mascots whatever the search into fourteen got are you going to turn them into major source of income or money making and not during the olympics but but but straight out right now you know my roots i'm from marketing and recently were doing were going to be efficient in delivering for wonderful project and you know that. he was in the public finance government the money we're only in the private money for the project and with by the day i would have
11:52 am
broken another olympic record in its record them their record number of money from the commercial partners one billion euros direct and more to come and we also expect about fifty million. dollars from our licensing program we're going to lease i'm sorry what makes your project so attractive to private investors that they'd be the winter crackers point there are several secrets your ability your secrets your professional abilities to track there's no more there's so know how you rate it would be unforgivable to use in the full swing and the miracle of. world the most recognized noncommercial brands in the world which olympic games are and we did it in the full swing and we created the very powerful mutual a little more deal of cooperation between our partners we never called them to sponsor us they're not to invest in just to be proud of to be a say associated with the olympic rings they're investing in the western because
11:53 am
they expect in return on investment into the infrastructure of sochi and some projects with a very clear. plans how there will be rewarded and what kind of benefits they will have to major russian companies are russell and gaspar and preferred not to invest the sochi rather to invest in two thousand and eighteen world cup football world cup competition in moscow. that make you happy. we're not commenting on that you're not those that make it happen yesterday i've signed. when kiss contract with our partners it's impossible to conclude all the world is over this would be the market and i'm very glad to the tough. competitive environment now in our country this is a great affliction that the sports marketing is drawing and we set up the benchmark
