“Despite the present market challenges within the U.S. and China, we now have continued to prove our worth to brands across the globe, helping them scale via international expansion, creator economy partnerships and Amazon growth, and we’re excited to proceed accelerating brands across a mess of channels in consequence of this recent funding.”
