We’re excited to share that TMT Insights has been nominated for an IBC2026 Innovation Award alongside our client, Crunchyroll, and partner SDVI Corporation for our submission, Delivering Anime at a Global Scale.
This recognition celebrates a transformation that has redefined how anime is prepared, localized, and delivered to fans around the world. By modernizing Crunchyroll’s global media supply chain, the platform has enabled near real-time distribution, late-binding localization, and the scalability needed to support a rapidly growing global audience.
The results speak for themselves:
✅ Over 4.2 million assets delivered
⚡ Rapid launches across Amazon, Apple, Roku, Sony LIV, Claro Mexico, Galaxy Play, Google, and more
🌎 A future-ready foundation that continues to scale with Crunchyroll’s growing catalog and distribution footprint
Behind those outcomes, the team:
✅ Reconciled and rationalized 50,000+ episodes
🌏 Migrated 400,000+ localization components
⚡ Completed the core transformation in just 90 days
This project is a great example of what’s possible when innovative technology, strong partnerships, and deep operational expertise come together to solve complex media supply chain challenges at global scale.
👏 Congratulations to the incredible teams at Crunchyroll and SDVI. We’re proud to have partnered on this journey and grateful to IBC – International Broadcasting Convention for the recognition.
