Investee Company Update: Yooya exceeds 4 Billion Lifetime Views
Lorne Abony CEO of FastForward an AIM listed company trading under the symbol FFWD, is pleased to update investors on the significant progress made by its investee company Yooya, namely that Yooya has now exceeded the significant milestone of 4 Billion Lifetime views.
As announced by Yooya:
"Online video network Yooya announced that it has now achieved over four billion lifetime views, with more than 2.75 billion added in the last seven months. The combination of an increasing number of distribution partners and a growing stream of compelling new content on the platform drove this astounding 25% month-over-month growth.
Yooya has been instrumental in helping content producers monetize China's fragmented online video market by providing a single platform for content distribution, rights management, and advertising solutions. Yooya brings together many key components essential to the equation, including licensing at scale, automated ad sales, consolidated data & analytics, and dramatically simplified content distribution.
For advertisers looking to tap into the large-scale engagement online video in China offers, Yooya provides a single point of contact to access distribution across all major video platforms and access to hundreds of channels covering key advertising demographics and interest categories.
"Yooya viewership continues to grow at an astounding rate," said Yooya CEO Rick Myers. "This growth reflect the exploding popularity and enormous power of online video in China, but more importantly for rights owners and advertisers, it means that finally there is a viable managed platform on which to build better monetization and more effective video-based advertising."
Yooya was recently rebranded from Entertainment Direct Asia.
