HYPEBEAST LTD. (0150.HK) Ventures Into New Interest Areas Amid Strong Growth Dynamics
The Group started the Financial Year on a high note and continued momentum in FY2022 Q3 with a strong emphasis on realizing strategic and geographical expansion initiatives to capitalize on new business opportunities. In particular, the Group has executed a multi-layered diversification strategy, including content generation in new interest areas such as art and sports, the continued expansion of advertising capabilities offered by the Group's Media segments, and product expansion on the E-Commerce and Retail segments, all of which have energized existing consumers and paved the way for future business growth.
As the trend towards digital channels continues, the Group has made a corresponding greater shift in marketing and advertising budgets from traditional marketing channels to digital and online channels, and the Group expects to benefit from this dynamic operating environment. The Group's existing strategies and a favorable operating environment will be strong drivers of new user acquisition and revenue growth throughout FY2022 and into the coming financial year.
