Driver Studios to leverage industry-leading creative and analytics to launch and promote animated 'Wooshi' Youtube series in support of consumer product launch in 2025
MONTREAL & NEW YORK - PennZone -- Today METAFY – a leader in unlocking and applying the benefits of blockchain technology to both legacy and emerging IP – announced that they and DRIVER STUDIOS – the industry's leading YouTube-solution specialist – have partnered on the development, production and commercial exploitation of animated content based upon METAFY's flagship brand – 'WOOSHI WORLD'.
The partnership will see DRIVER STUDIOS develop and produce animated 'WOOSHI' content, and then apply their industry-leading data & analytics capabilities combined with compelling storytelling, to drive viewership of the series on a dedicated 'WOOSHI WORLD' YouTube channel that DRIVER STUDIOS will create and oversee in early 2025. YouTube has become THE streaming platform for kids and families, with more than 86% of U.S. kids aged 2-12 viewing content on the platform, and 90% of their parents watching alongside.
By combining DRIVER's data-driven insights with METAFY'S community-centered approach to digital brand-building, fans who enter the 'WOOSHI' universe will be invited to participate in crafting its direction and form. Co-creation and co-authorship are key outcomes of how METAFY integrates the blockchain throughout the IP it creates and stewards.
