The Candle Media co-CEO disregarded the 'valuation haters' and shared his strategy during a keynote appearance at the APOS media summit in Singapore.
At Disney, Mayer’s last major assignment was oversite of the development and launch of Disney+, the company’s vertically integrated direct-to-consumer platform. As other major entertainment platforms followed Disney’s leading in pulling their content back into “walled gardens,” Mayer says he realized the value of high-end content created by independent studios willing to sell it would only soar — and becoming just such a purveyor would be a pillar of Candle’s approach.

Mayer said a similar rationale undergirded Candle Media’s $3 billion acquisition of kids entertainment company Moonbug Animation, home to the CoComelon franchise, which counts YouTube’s second-largest subscriber count , has spawned a wildly popular Netflix series, and “licensing and merchandising opportunities that are incredible.”
