Acorn International's Acorn Entertainment Client Base Now Spans Sports, Film / Television and Music

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Acorn Entertainment (AE) announces it has expanded its client base to now cover US sports, film, television, and music celebrity talent as well as brands looking to expand their presence in China. AE provides a full suite of online and offline, multichannel and multimedia promotional services to individual celebrity talent as well as brand clients, primarily from the U.S., who seek to maximize their brands in China and increase their monetization ratios from social media engagement.

"Building upon the success of our recent campaigns for US sports and film celebrities in China, we continue to add new, high-profile clients to our roster," said Brittany Li, head of Client Acquisition at Acorn Entertainment. "Our core goal with each of our clients is to increase the value of their IP in China, and over time increase their 'Monetization Ratio' (namely the ratio of income generated from social media engagement relative to the size of the social media engagement)."
