T&B Media Global

What T&B Media Global does

T&B Media Global is a Bangkok-based private entertainment and media technology company founded in 2016 by Dr. Jwanwat Ahriyavraromp (Dr. Tan), operating an integrated portfolio that spans IP development, animation and film production, Web3 infrastructure, metaverse development, and AI-powered digital content. The company's core product is its animation IP library, anchored by the Shelldon series (the only Thai animated series to air on NBC in the United States, distributed in 180+ countries and 35+ languages), and a development slate that includes Legend of the Two Heroes, FriendZSpace, Looking for Gods, Blue City, and Out of the Nest. The company is building a digital-asset ecosystem around this content through Crown Token (CWT), the ADOT NFT marketplace, the Mittaria Web3 subsidiary, and the Translucia metaverse platform, the last developed in partnership with MQDC for real-world asset integration.

The business operates across several revenue mechanics: IP licensing and co-production with international partners (Sunac Culture, Wanda Pictures, SCG Pictures, Base FX); content distribution via Netflix, LINE TV, TrueID, and theatrical release; digital-asset transactions through CWT token trading and NFT sales; metaverse platform services for brands and creators; talent management including the Last Idol Thailand format; and AI-driven digital content, notably the Lulu digital human co-developed with Alibaba Cloud. The company runs 251-500 employees, maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary stack (VUCA Digital for fintech/blockchain, Mittaria for Web3, Wasabi Global Innovation Ventures for metaverse), and has a joint venture with MQDC (Tree Roots Entertainment Group). Its leadership team is anchored by the founder-CEO and includes Group CFO, CBDO, CSO, CIO, CPPO, and Deputy CEO functions.

Direct peers

• Sunac Culture: Core Chinese co-production partner of T&B across animated IP and theme-park integration; operates comparable animation/film production and IP licensing businesses at much larger scale, making it the closest direct comparability in business model even though it sits upstream as both partner and peer.
• Wanda Pictures: Co-production and theatrical distribution partner; one of China's largest cinema and film groups and a direct functional peer in Chinese-language co-production and theatrical release, sharing both partnership and competitive positioning with T&B.
• Base FX: Co-production partner on 'Out of the Nest'; leading Asian VFX and animation house with comparable services-and-IP mix serving Hollywood and Chinese studios, making it a closely matched peer in production capability and Asian co-production economics.

Emerging players

• Animoca Brands: Hong Kong-headquartered Web3 entertainment and metaverse investor/operator with comparable NFT, gaming, and virtual-world exposure (The Sandbox, REVV Motorsport); a strong peer for T&B's Mittaria/Translucia strategy and digital-asset tokenization approach.
• The Sandbox: Decentralized metaverse platform enabling user-built virtual experiences and NFT-based land; directly comparable to Translucia in metaverse architecture and digital-asset monetization, though more crypto-native and global versus T&B's real-estate-anchored Asia model.
• Decentraland: Decentralized virtual world platform with NFT-based land and creator economy; a like-for-like architectural peer to Translucia in the metaverse-and-digital-asset category, useful for benchmarking user engagement and monetization benchmarks in Web3 worlds.

Broad incumbents

• Illumination Entertainment: Global animation studio (Despicable Me, Sing) with comparable family-friendly animated IP and global distribution scale; useful as a benchmark for what scaled family animation franchises can achieve, though much larger and more established than T&B.
• Bilibili: China-headquartered video and anime streaming/community platform with strong animation IP investment and a younger-skewing digital-native audience; comparable in mixing streaming distribution with original animation IP, though at much larger scale and with an owned platform.
• iQIYI: Major Chinese OTT streaming platform producing and distributing original animation and drama content; analogous to T&B's Netflix/LINE TV distribution model plus internal IP development, and a key competitor for Chinese streaming eyeballs that T&B's IP targets.
• Alibaba Pictures: Film production and distribution arm of Alibaba Group and T&B's partner on the Lulu digital human; overlapping with T&B in Chinese-language film production and AI-driven entertainment, though at vastly greater scale and with deeper platform distribution.
