Our take
Moonbug is a global entertainment company producing fun, engaging and safe content for kids. With bases in London and Los Angeles, Moonbug’s video and audio content is produced with the goal of teaching compassion, empathy and resilience to its young audience.
Despite its relatively recent inception in 2018, the company owns properties including Blippi, Little Baby Bum and CoComelon, content that is distributed around the world on platforms including YouTube and Netflix, with the latter’s first series generating over 30 billion minutes of viewing. Its market presence is strong, with accompanying merchandise sold via Walmart and Amazon, and adjacent offerings such as its CoComelon video game.
Following the acquisition of Singapore-based One Animation, Moonbug has worked to increase its footprint in Asia, as well as making plans to take on South America and the Middle East. A 2023 rebrand seeks to raise the profile and recognizability of the brand as it continues both growth and diversification - for instance by partnering with Audible on a series of family-friendly podcasts.
