ReelShort has expanded its significant Southeast Asian footprint, aligning with Singtel CAST in Singapore and Telkomsel in Indonesia.
The new deals follow ReelShort’s pacts with Globe in the Philippines and AIS in Thailand. Singtel holds stakes in Telkomsel, Indonesia’s largest operator, reaching more than 150 million subscribers; Globe, which reaches 67 million subscribers in the Philippines; and AIS in Thailand, which has 47 million subscribers. Together, the four operators represent more than 275 million mobile collections.
“Our Southeast Asia strategy is precise, data‑driven and focused on markets where mobile entertainment is accelerating fastest,” said Joey Jia, founder and CEO of Crazy Maple Studio, ReelShort’s parent company. “Indonesia gives us unmatched scale, the Philippines delivers the region’s most engaged mobile users, and Thailand is Southeast Asia’s highest‑ARPU mobile market. Singapore, meanwhile, is the region’s premium digital hub. Securing distribution across Singtel, Telkomsel, Globe and AIS within six months positions ReelShort at the center of Southeast Asia’s next wave of digital entertainment growth.”

“With more than 150 million customers and a deep understanding of Indonesia’s diverse digital lifestyles, Telkomsel is well positioned to bring world-class entertainment closer to more people across the country,” said Kemas M. Fadhli, VP of digital lifestyle at Telkomsel. “As the first digital telecommunications service provider in Indonesia to establish a direct partnership with ReelShort, we are opening practical and convenient access to its distinctive mobile-first stories. This collaboration reflects our commitment to serving wholeheartedly by continuously creating greater value and more meaningful digital experiences for every Indonesian.”
All four partnerships were brokered by AR Global Media Network, ReelShort’s exclusive Southeast Asia distribution representative.
