The acquisition will give Cocoo Digital the opportunity to share its creative influences with a much wider pool of clients.Flock will also leverage on Cocoo Digital’s ownership of the Indonesia Virtual Pro League, a pioneering gaming league which has gained traction among the youth in the country. Plans for on-ground competitions, digital content, and live broadcasts are in the works, the statement added.Rizki Darmawan added that the agency will also manage an eSport club called “Freak Gaming”, an Indonesian YouTube channel that was founded in 2017.
