This year's edition of "Jiangsu's Got Foreign Talent" marked the first time that foreign contestants from Hong Kong and Macau participated in the show. It's no surprise that that Hong Kong and Macau have much to offer in creativity and cultural flair, as both regions have a long legacy of interacting with the international community. The contestants, some of whom were recruited with the help of Ignite Media in Hong Kong and Macau, wowed Mainland audiences with their wide array of talents -- which included musical and dramatic recitals all performed in fluent Mandarin.

Mark Hammons, Managing Director of Ignite Media Group, was also one of the hosts at the nation-wide talent show. Mr Hammons, a Mandarin speaker who has lived in East Asia for over 16 years, was proud of the results of this cross-media collaboration between Ignite Media and JSTV: "'Jiangsu'sGot Foreign Talent' is a show that helps promote the beauty and heritage of Chinese culture. We are pleased to be a part of such a unique and diverse programme."

Zhou Li, Controller of JSTV, said, "JSTV is very happy and excited to be partnering up on this show to bring in more talents from Hong Kong and Macau."

The strategic partnership marks just one of many splashes Ignite Media is making in China. The group is expanding its path into the mainland, reaching Chinese audiences and consumers and engaging them through its various multi-media platforms.
