International media group and rights owner Coolabi Group has been acquired by Talenthouse AG.
Talenthouse AG is the technology platform serving a community of 18+million members and is an innovator at the forefront of the Creator Economy, specifically within the digital marketing and entertainment space.
Together, Talenthouse and Coolabi are planning to connect the IP and Creator Economy spaces, initially through gaming and in the metaverse. Additionally, this will open up exclusive opportunities for Talenthouse’s creative community to produce assets for Coolabi’s global brands.
Talenthouse’s clients include Universal Music Group, Unreal Engine, Bombay Sapphire and HBO among others, which are all able to utilise Talenthouse’s creative community to produce visual assets both locally and internationally.
“We are pleased to be joining Clare McKeeve and the highly regarded Talenthouse team through this acquisition,” commented Jeremy Banks, ceo of Coolabi. “Their extensive, diverse and engaged creative community strongly ties into what we do here at Coolabi and our ambitions for the future.
“The merging of both groups will allow us to offer more of what we do best; create stories, brands and content that excites and entertains children across the globe.”
Coolabi Group has created and licensed to publishers over 2,000 book titles across some 200 book series to publishers and actively manages the IP it creates in order for it to achieve international recognition and commercial success as brands.
For example, Warrior Cats has so far been played 200 million times on Roblox by some two million unique users a month and has been viewed on YouTube over half a billion times all just in the last year. In addition, Coolabi’s books are licensed in over 40 languages and its TV shows are licensed in over 140 countries.
