Dual postproduction centers in Beijing and Los Angeles will allow it to speed up the delivery of content. The company is also planning its first international micro-drama production studio in Hengqin, China. The 10,000-square-meter facility featuring 30 soundstages tailored to micro-dramas is expected to be operational by year-end.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, FlareFlow hit a new single-day revenue high and cracked the top of the free entertainment app charts on iOS and Android. This came three weeks after it made Google Play&#8217;s top five. Citing numbers from Sensor Tower, COL says FlareFlow is also in the top five among micro-drama and entertainment apps in Germany, Australia and Canada. The app, launched in April, has topped 15 million downloads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThis is not a passing trend in China or the U.S.\u2014it\u2019s a global shift in storytelling,\u201d said Ray Tong, CEO of COL Group. \u201cCOL and FlareFlow are at the forefront of this evolution, scaling production and reshaping our content strategy to meet diverse worldwide demand. People have consumed vertical content since Instagram Stories and TikTok, but what\u2019s evolving is the storytelling itself. FlareFlow is shaping that evolution for audiences everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWhat excites us most is that it isn\u2019t just about FlareFlow\u2019s growth\u2014it\u2019s about investing in an ecosystem,\u201d added Timothy Oh, general manager for international press and Southeast Asia at COL Group. \u201cOur investments worldwide are helping the industry adapt and thrive as microdramas become part of everyday viewing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COL Group is expanding its international footprint in the micro-drama space following the success of its FlareFlow platform in the U.S., including the creation of a new production studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":23484,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[11408,11409,9249,11410,11245],"class_list":["post-23485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-col-group","tag-flareflow","tag-micro-dramas","tag-ray-tong","tag-timothy-oh","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
