In December 2017, it launched “Celebrate Asia with Us” initiative to mark its first anniversary and revealed the upcoming addition of four new regional content partners. This includes Ani-One (Hong Kong), GMM Grammy (Thailand), Celestial Tiger Entertainment (Hong Kong) and Asia Travel (Taiwan), which joined its platform.Several months earlier, dimsum's parent, Star Media Group collaborated with Shanghai Media Group (SMG) to provide a series of A-list and exclusive Chinese content produced by SMG for its subscribers.In addition, dimsum also has brought on board Celcom in June last year to offer a streaming experience with direct auto-billing subscription and low-cost data packages. Through this partnership, dimsum subscribers will be able to stream unlimited Asian dramas and shows with Celcom’s new video streaming feature, "Video Walla”. This offer is available exclusively to all Celcom Xpax and FIRST customers.Read also: Dimsum partners up with Etika for CNY giveaway Etika and Entropia use UV invisible ink and VR tech in latest campaign
