“Given the growth in subscription on demand video service in entertainment, Starz Play was created with the aim to become the go-to choice for premium family content. We are a local platform for the region that strives to innovate in the digital space, and it was important for us to find a communications partner with strong regional presence that challenges convention. With the appointment of Asda’a BCW as our communications agency, we look forward to an exciting period of growth,” Maaz Sheikh, Co-founder and CEO of Starz Play.
