CosmoBlue Media is charting an ambitious course toward the future of global entertainment, blending innovation with a commitment to meaningful storytelling. At the helm of this dynamic shift is Berk Uziyel, Co-Founder and Partner in CosmoBlue Media, whose forward-looking vision is driving the company's expansion into diverse and emerging sectors. From educational programming for children to cutting-edge artificial intelligence and digital distribution, Uziyel talked with Señal News about how CosmoBlue Media is redefining what it means to create and share content in an increasingly interconnected world.
Uziyel emphasized that the company is taking a forward-looking approach. Central to their new mission is acquiring and developing diverse assets in children's educational entertainment. "We've initially announced that we purchased TinZyne Limited and all the assets of TinZyne, which includes the Macademia, Azoomee, and Da Vinci brands," he said, describing the strategy to appeal to young audiences through channels like Da Vinci for educational content, Azoomee for preschool programming, and the CosmoBlue Kids Network for animated features. These brands represent an investment in nurturing creativity and learning for children.
CosmoBlue Media also embraces the digital revolution, focusing strongly on AVOD platforms like YouTube. Uziyel revealed plans to establish a dedicated department to enhance digital monetization strategies. "We're now establishing a new department, which is going to acquire a few assets to further develop on the AVOD segment, such as YouTube, all of the prominent players," he explained. This expansion into digital distribution aligns with the company's broader goal of leveraging technology to reach global audiences efficiently.
Another exciting area for CosmoBlue Media is sports. The company is launching Cosmosports and recently announced a strategic collaboration with Fanatiz, a Latin American sports platform. "We'll be doing quite a bit of stuff with them," Uziyel shared, highlighting their goal to become a player in sports media. Furthermore, CosmoBlue Media is embracing artificial intelligence by investing in Largo AI and acquiring Sofi TV, a brand specializing in short films. These ventures highlight the company's innovative spirit and desire to explore emerging technologies in content creation.
The company's reach is also becoming increasingly global. While the founders' previous ventures focused on Central and Eastern Europe, CosmoBlue Media now expands into North America, Canada, and Latin America. "We're now getting engaged into a few businesses within that territory, too," Uziyel stated, revealing their intent to establish a broader footprint. With ventures spanning children's programming, digital platforms, sports, and AI, Uziyel stated: "This is just the beginning," capturing the essence of a company poised to impact the future of global entertainment significantly.
