con·tem·plate
/ˈkän(t)əmˌplāt/
verb
past tense: contemplated; past participle: contemplated
- look thoughtfully for a long time at.
- think about
- think profoundly and at length;
Word used 3 times. In agreements that word is used for forward looking things that could happen down the road if what is agree upon in the first contract works out well. It's called incentive or a carrot.
We know the studio is available for rent. Sure seems like they have a lot of samples and likely already a sample center. So that leaves the most important one is the middle... (i.e. receive a percentage).
How big would that be? Would explain why Market.Live isn't hosting events on Market.Live
So the discussions could have been about this and/or many other things. The Buy Quickly is icing on the cake. What I haven't figure out with that one is, do they want help getting a foot in the US door or the other way around. My guess is the former. Market.Live tied to those 120 brands for the US would be something but we'll tamper "expectations are running pretty high right now".
Here's my wild guess. TikTok said we love what you are doing. What you are doing for TikTok. We want you to scale it 100x up. All over the place. Replicated it all over the place. It's just a wild guess.
Here's the PR from 4 months ago with some highlights by me.
