Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. Signs Content Creation Agreement with TikTok for the Middle East and North Africa
Smyrna, DE, Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As foreshadowed in a January 2025 press release, Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:YYAI) is pleased to announce that its majority-owned subsidiary, Yuanyu Enterprise Management Limited (YYEM), has signed an MCN (Multi-Channel Network) agency services agreement to create and sell content to TikTok as part of its exciting new vertical centered on social networking applications.
Under this agreement, YYEM will procure the production of content to be live-streamed or served as videos to TikTok's multitude of users in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This is expected to include engaging broadcasts across various categories, such as sports, gaming, and lifestyle topics, produced by popular Twitch hosts and other influencers within the network that YYEM is developing. We anticipate that YYEM's new vertical will also include live-streaming, voice chat rooms, gaming, and influencer-driven user-generated content (UGC). The fees generated by the arrangement with TikTok will depend on the rate of conversion by TikTok end-users.
With TikTok facing uncertainty in North America, YYEM is aiming to capitalize on the platform's massive reach in the MENA region. As of July 2024, countries like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia reported TikTok penetration rates exceeding 120% of the adult population, making this a prime market for YYAI and YYEM to target with our new venture.
Hongyu Zhou, Chairman of YYAI, commented, "This deal has the potential to create new revenue streams for YYAI, as well as marketing and other opportunities related to YYEM's engagement with TikTok's large and growing base of users and fans. Given the challenges TikTok is facing in the United States, we believe that partnering with TikTok in the MENA region presents a unique opportunity. We expect to grow our social networking, influencer, and content creation business over the coming year and anticipate that our new social networking vertical will open further opportunities for YYAI."
This TikTok collaboration furthers Connexa's mission to leverage technology and partnerships to unlock new opportunities in the digital landscape. By combining a portfolio of innovative technologies with an extensive influencer network, Connexa and YYEM aim to redefine content creation in one of TikTok's most engaged markets.
