ZOO Digital's Industry First Globalisation Management Platform Adopted by Major Hollywood Studio to Support Content Localisation Rollout
ZOO Digital Group plc (LON: ZOO), world-leading provider of cloud-based localisation and media services, today announced it is now operating as a key vendor for a major content producer to support their content localisation needs. This client is also using ZOOstudio to manage the localisation of content across its vendors.
ZOOstudio is an all-encompassing and vendor-agnostic platform purpose built to solve the large-scale globalisation challenges of a multi-territory OTT service. It has been in use at another major studio and global streaming service since 2019 and is the proven solution for delivering the volume and scale required for an international, multi-language streaming platform.
The adoption of ZOOstudio by another global content creator, which cannot be named for contractual reasons, represents a further success story for ZOO as a strategic technology partner. While longer-term contractual arrangements have not yet been finalised, a significant number of revenue-generating projects for this client are already underway.
Stuart Green, CEO of ZOO Digital, commented: "We are delighted to be chosen to provide our services and technology to another high-profile streaming service. Our global ZOO teams recognise the challenges of localising premium content for worldwide audiences, and we're thrilled to be able support our client with these."
