"Content is King" is a book wrote by Bill Gates in 1996 for the context of Digital Marketing. We have the same beliefs even 27 years after for a similar context of bringing Brand to stand out amongst the crowd. Contents are the reason for Brand to steal the attention amid this noisy world of advertisement, putting it as top of mind.

Through Digital Platform we can see that the consumption of Content increased 100% globally based the research done in 2020 by doubleverivy. Further to that, also in 2020, Nielsen released a report in September showing the increment of online entertainment consumption in Asia, which reached 33% (+8% more than global). These new behaviours are an opportunity for Brands to explore.
