The anticipated hires will contribute to animation, engineering and product development. MarcoPolo Learning\u2019s recent partnership with Boat Rocker Media will see the production of original premium animated long-form video content in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>MarcoPolo Learning recently announced more than $8.5 million in funding from Boat Rocker Media and a range of technology investors from around the world. MarcoPolo Learning mobile apps are currently used by more than 5 million children in 150-plus countries, including the U.S., China, Russia, the U.K. and Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.K. has made it very attractive for production studios to do work in the country,\u201d said Justin Hsu, the CEO of MarcoPolo. \u201cBy opening our headquarters in London we\u2019re able to tap into a vibrant creative talent market at an attractive cost versus other creative talent markets. This will help fuel our recent partnership with Boat Rocker Media and help us produce amazing animated content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile uncertainty regarding Brexit has understandably caused a number of other startups to consider leaving London, for us it is hard to deny the three \u2018T\u2019s\u2019 that London has to offer: talent, tax incentives for creative companies like ours, and time-zone advantages when it comes to selecting a global headquarters,\u201d added Nazar Yasin, MarcoPolo\u2019s executive chairman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MarcoPolo Learning is setting up its new global headquarters in London this month following a major financing round and partnership with Boat Rocker Media and its family of companies, as well as venture capital firm Seedcamp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[2556],"class_list":["post-12457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-marcopolo-learning","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
