Under this "New Model," the focus is on retaining IP rights to enable multi-format monetization, creating compounding growth potential.The company’s IP development process emphasizes:
- Creation & Co-ownership: Identifying scalable concepts and retaining rights for syndication, licensing, and re-formatting.
