Bangkok, (19 April 2021), JKN's chief executive officer, Jakkaphong "Anne" Jakrajutatip, said the company is now ASEAN's leading content manager and distributor via satellite TV, digital TV, and online platforms.

She said the achievement resulted from the board's expertise and its 'superstar marketing' strategy, which allows the company to curate content that meets the customers' needs.


"Korean, Indian and Filipino series fever has emerged in Thailand due to our many years of experience in content management and distribution," says Anne Jakrajutatip, CEO of JKN Global Media PLC.  “As JKN is a content company with high growth potential, the company was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on November 12 last year to allow more institutional and retail investors to invest in the company's share and witness the company's growth together,” she added.
