YouTube content creator Maker Studios eyes Australia after Asia push
Maker Studio’s controversial kissing a girl video was banned in Singapore
Maker Studios, one of the biggest producers of content on YouTube, has expanded its presence in Asia and is exploring a move into Australia.
The Los Angeles-based company acquired by Disney for $500 million in March, has established an office in Singapore as a Southeast Asian hub, and is looking to launch next in Hong Kong as a springboard into China, Mumbrella Asia has revealed.
Maker Studios, which has been trumpeting its skills in ad-funded productions, is also exploring opportunities for launch in Australia further down the track either organically or by acquisition, the company’s international president Rene Rachtman told Mumbrella Asia at the All That Matters conference in Singapore yesterday.
The time will come the walrus said
to think of many things
where female, creative equality
is no longer one of mediocrity
but one where class is all that counts
As the flame of confidence flickers for all to see.
