Dear friend,

Having partners is not only a great networking method but also an essential component for any business. But, how often we see truly useful cases of successful partnerships? Does anything come to your mind? If not, let Foresting and Herald partnership become an example for next time if someone asks you this question.

Perhaps this meeting between Herald, Korea’s leading media, and Foresting, blockchain-based social media, will become a historic moment!

The meeting where conventional media, which boasts a long history and tradition, and new media with strategy and ideas are gathered together!

So, let’s talk about Foresting and Herald partnership vision and actions that both companies will take in the future.

1. Blockchain caught Herald’s attention

It’s not a secret that Herald is the representative press in Korea.

Herald is recognized by readers locally and abroad through various media, including Herald Business, an economic magazine that ranks near the top seven in the number of online visitors in Korea and The Korea Herald, South Korea’s №1 English-language newspaper, which is distributed online and offline in more than 80 countries around the world.​

Why did the long-established media begin to focus on blockchain technology?

The answer is simple. Despite the enormous power of traditional social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube blockchain technology makes rapid changes in the social media platforms and overall content market.

​Since content is the soul of the media, we must pay close attention to trendy and differentiated content.

And everything started when Herald expressed its interest in the “Foresting Tech Summit 2018”, which was successfully held in June last year.

2. Herald is experiencing Foresting

At the end of April of this year, we launched Foresting Open Beta!
Herald tried and posted a review on Foresting Open Beta app.

It was a fresh, completely new and truly practical example of how blockchain technology can be applied in real life!

Through this partnership and the interest Herald has in the Foresting differentiation and vision, Herald officially adopted Herold’s official social media presence on Foresting.

It is also the beginning of a change that will bring out trendy and differentiated content in the future.

As the Herald has a diverse array of readers in various fields, including economics, education, food and entertainment, Foresting is excited about the opportunity to bring know-how to Herald’s content and content market!

Foresting is planning to partner with MCN to bring in creators not only from South Korea but also from overseas countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, etc.

There will be bigger news, so stay tuned! :)
