Globe Telecom Inc. said it expects to “see steady growth over the next few years” as it addresses consumer demand through the delivery of fresh content.
Globe President Ernest L. Cu said his group is banking on its existing partnerships with content developers and its own content development studio to create more value for consumers.
“Globe has always been at the forefront of providing value to customers with our plans, so they can access an array of content that matter to them. We pioneered content bundling when we introduced plans that came with NBA League Pass, Netflix, and Spotify many years ago, and we continue to do so with our partnerships with Amazon Prime, HBO Go, and Viu, among others,” Cu said.
He added that Globe Studios has produced several original films, television series, and online content, which have received local and international awards.
“When Globe pioneered partnerships with streaming services a few years ago, we saw a big opportunity to create and grow local content. We have proven that we can produce top-notch films and music that are now being shown in international streaming services. We take pride in our Filipino artists and we are driven by the vision to provide platforms to bring them to the global stage,” Cu said.
Cu noted that Globe’s 917Ventures Inc., a corporate venture builder, is also developing solutions that “solve people’s everyday problems.”
Portfolio companies under 917Ventures include financial technology app GCash, online health services app HealthNow, and online grocery shopping app PureGo.
“We live by the adage that if we don’t disrupt ourselves, somebody else will. We have to be transforming all the time and ensuring that our services and offerings remain relevant and even predict future trends for our consumers,” Cu said.
