("ZOO", the "Group" or the "Company")

 

ZOO establishes ZOO Italy with the launch of dubbing studios in Milan

 

ZOO Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), a leading provider of end-to-end
cloud-based localisation and media services to the global entertainment
industry, announces the establishment of ZOO dubbing studios in Milan. This
strategic move follows the successful acquisition of long-time partner
LogoSound, positioning ZOO as a key player in providing exceptional dubbing
services in Italy.

 

Founded in Milan in 2006, LogoSound has been a trusted provider of Italian
dubbing services to companies such as de Agostini Editore; Boing; Malvista
Entertainment; Turner Broadcasting system Europe; and CDI Camera Distribuzion.
The studio will play a pivotal role in ZOO's global end-to-end offering for
major studios and streaming services. The TPN-approved dubbing facility will
not only serve international entertainment giants but also empower local
content creators to extend their reach by bringing Italian-language film and
TV to global audiences.

 

Stuart Green, CEO of ZOO Digital, said: "Italy is a key dubbing territory for
the global media and entertainment industry, and with the addition of our
Milan hub into our wider global network, we are well-positioned to meet the
evolving needs of major studios and streamers across Europe. This strategic
expansion not only underscores our commitment to the Italian entertainment
industry but also reflects our dedication to the global needs of our clients -
including the rising demand for authentic, modern dubs of originals and
catalogue content."

 

ZOO Italia will be led by Mapi Lucchesi, ZOO's experienced Creative Director
for Italy, ensuring a smooth transition and seamless integration with the
wider ZOO production network.

 

Mapi Lucchesi, Creative Director, Italy, said: "The launch of ZOO's dubbing
studios in Milan represents a significant step forward for our Italian media
localization capabilities. We look forward to combining dedicated local
expertise with ZOO's global servicing capacity, to enhance the dubbing
experience for our clients and audiences alike."
