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."

Working from facilities in North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia, ZOO
Digital provides technology-enabled localisation and media services to major
Hollywood studios. The company's global freelance workforce of over 12,000
translators and dubbing professionals deliver localised media and
entertainment content in over 80 global languages.
