Through this collaboration, the two companies plan to develop a short-form narrative tailored to global viewers based on their own IP and speed up the expansion of the content business targeting OTT and digital platforms. TME Group has production capabilities that have proven global popularity with 'Unknown Seoul' and 'Confidence Man KR', and Bambu Network is a professional studio that has accumulated short-form production know-how. Synergy in the market is expected as the strengths of the two companies are combined.
In particular, this project embodies immersive storytelling by combining the TME Group's experimental moves that break down the boundaries of genres such as music, drama, and entertainment, and the short-form content competitiveness of the Bambu Network. In addition, it aims to diversify IP scalability and profit models through one-source multi-use (OSMU) strategy.
Ahn Seok-jun, head of TME Group, said "We will continue to attempt to break down the limits of genres and forms to provide new experiences to global viewers."Collaboration with the Bambu Network represents an extension to a trendy format called shortform"
Jung Da-bin, CEO of Bambu Network, said "We will further solidify the competitiveness of Korea's short-form IP to advance beyond Asia to North America and Europe.""It will provide a new level of immersion experience" he stressed.
Short-form contents co-produced by the two companies will be supplied from Asia to North America and Europe, and joint planning and investment systems will also be expanded in the future. This is expected to lead to the creation of global distribution opportunities and strengthening of long-term partnerships.
