As we enter the holiday season, we wish everyone a joyful and safe holiday. 🎄 This year, we surprised our global team with thoughtful gifts and gatherings across multiple offices, including Sunnyvale, Los Angeles, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Japan. These moments helped us celebrate the holidays, recognize the team’s hard work, and continue our three-year anniversary celebrations as we close out the year. Filling the final days of the year with meaningful gestures of appreciation is a reminder of the care and intention that goes into building our culture. Small gestures, big impact, and a reminder that our success is only as strong as the people behind it. #HolidayCelebration #3YearsOfReelShort #TeamCulture #CrazyMapleStudio #Grateful

ReelShort: Powering the LATAM Micro Drama Boom An incredible week at MIP CANCUN, where we strengthened relationships across LATAM, expanded our international partnerships, and shared our global vision for the future of vertical and micro-drama storytelling. Prensario Internacional recognized ReelShort as one of the 7 digital pillars to watch at MIP Cancun 2025, highlighting our presence in our first year at the market and noting that ReelShort is becoming the “Netflix of the vertical format.” This reflects the momentum we are building across the Americas. Throughout the week, conversations reaffirmed the rising influence of microdramas worldwide and matched the acceleration we are seeing across regions. Partners from multiple countries expressed strong interest in this new model of collaboration that connects creators and audiences across borders, all from the potential of a phone. LATAM continues to grow as one of our most dynamic regions, and the energy from this market strengthens the foundation we are building for 2026 and beyond.
