BRANDED ENTERTAINMENT

Going beyond traditional platforms, SOZO prides itself in managing and creating entertainment branded platforms. Over the years, we've created numerous platforms that not only seek to engage the youths across Asia, but have provided a launch pad for Japanese content holders to expand their products and services to this young and restless market.
Launched in 2008, AFA has successfully delivered itself as the premiere Anime event in SE Asia - with over 163,000 visitors for it's 2012 installment over 3 countries - Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. Boasting an extensive database coupled with rich social media platforms, AFA has since been marked the platform to reach out to Japanese Content lovers in SE Asia. The AFA Brand Universe covers not only the annual regional AFA Events, but a media platform (AFA CHANNEL) and eCommerce retail platform (AFA SHOP).
