Published

on

The 2024 International Short Video Competition has successfully concluded its call for submissions. As of November 30, a total of 4,452 works were submitted, with creators from 60% of the countries and regions worldwide. The total exposure of related topics across the internet has surpassed 1.5 billion views.

This year’s competition featured a series of promotional activities reaching international campuses across the globe, with efforts expanding into markets in Asia, Europe, North America, and other regions. These activities have greatly enhanced the international exchange and cooperation in the film and television industry, significantly boosting global audio-visual influence. Notable progress was made in international communication and overseas promotion, with three key achievements standing out:

Firstly, a diversified international communication channel has been established. By inviting individual creators, bilingual bloggers, domestic and international audiovisual production and broadcasting institutions, film and media schools, as well as renowned influencers and talent agencies from around the world, the competition has attracted creative talents from various fields and levels. This includes significant participation from overseas universities, international students, and others, effectively capturing the attention and influence of the youth demographic. As a result, a large number of works with diverse formats and topics have been collected.

Secondly, a comprehensive cultural exchange platform has been established. Relying on international campus promotional activities, the competition has provided overseas students and foreign youth with opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of both Chinese and foreign cultures and international exchanges, thus sparking their creative inspiration. During the promotional events at KyungHee University, Rangsit University, and the University of Barcelona, students expressed strong interest in the overseas competition themes. Many of them stated that they would create works in creative formats such as Vlogs, animations, and documentaries. This promotional opportunity has also ensured the quality of the competition submissions.

Thirdly, an efficient overseas communication model has been expanded. By fully leveraging the experience gained from organizing the competition, the influence of various platforms has been activated. Through showcasing stories of Sino-foreign friendship, cultural differences, and win-win cooperation opportunities, as well as the concept of a shared human destiny from a Z perspective, the competition has established a distinctive international audio-visual brand image using abundant overseas resources. Prior to the promotional events, the release of information about the overseas competition attracted the attention of international creators and subscribers, creating a favorable atmosphere for offline promotional activities. From “cloud” to reality, the progressive promotion of Sino-foreign audio-visual works’ international communication has facilitated cultural exchange through enjoyable audio-visual experiences.

The international campuses have brought together students from different countries and regions, inspiring each other through their creative work and fostering a deeper understanding and respect for different cultures. By participating in and promoting the competition, students are able to further develop their short video creation skills, cross-cultural communication abilities, and awareness of international communication. With the perspective and creativity of international students, the competition has unearthed a batch of short video works that are more in tune with international audiences and easier to understand and accept. These works effectively showcase the charm of Sino-foreign cultures and the achievements of social development, enhancing the competition’s international appeal and influence.

In addition to reaching universities in South Korea, Thailand, Spain, and Russia, the international youth exchange roadshow is still ongoing. Although the submission phase has ended, the journey of Sino-foreign cultural exchange continues. With innovative communication formats and strengthened cultural identity, the 2024 International Short Video Competition is still on the way!

Published

on

Ranking On The List For The Third Straight Year, Marcella Ranks No. 577, Overall, Among The U.S.’ Fastest-Growing Private Companies.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, United States, 27th Dec 2024, Marcella, a mission-driven, ethical and sustainable designer fashion brand, has been ranked as the 7th fastest-growing fashion brand in the U.S. on the recently announced 2024 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious data-driven ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies. Achieving 780% growth from 2020 to 2023 with minimal outside investor capital, Marcella also ranked on the list as America’s 44th fastest-growing consumer products company and as America’s 577th fastest-growing company, overall. Moreover, Marcella ranked as the fastest-growing retailer in New England (where it is headquartered) for the past three years.

Founded by husband-and-wife duo Siyana and Andy Huszar, Marcella’s “minimalism with an edge” clothing, shoes and accessories are designed in New York and handcrafted in Europe. Core to the brand’s DNA is a commitment to advancing women and girls across the brand’s every aspect (design, production approach, sustainability, and social impact).

“Being ranked as America’s 7th fastest-growing fashion company is a testament to our incredible team and the uncompromising passion we bring daily to revolutionizing fashion for the benefit of women and girls globally,” said Siyana Huszar, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Marcella.

Marcella takes a holistic approach to sustainability that not only drives its mission but its profitability. The brand’s innovative “just-in-time” production model minimizes the global fashion industry’s typical inventory waste, enabling Marcella to sell over 90% of what it makes at or near full price and dramatically reducing the company’s ecological footprint. This efficiency results in exceptional capital savings and enables Marcella to be ethical, sustainable and socially impactful in its approach. Its original, designer essentials have a superior price-to-quality ratio. Every individual involved in the production of any Marcella piece enjoys a truly living wage, generous benefits and free health care. And, for every order Marcella sells, the company supports three days of school for a marginalized girl around the world in partnership with CAMFED, the celebrated global NGO revolutionizing how girls’ education is delivered.

“To think that Marcella has been able to profitably achieve such ongoing growth while mainly bootstrapping is humbling,” added Andy Huszar, Co-founder and CEO of Marcella. “We’re honoured to be recognized by the Inc. 5000 for the third straight year and excited to continue delivering ethical, sustainable and socially impactful fashion within reach.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. “Congratulations to this year’s honorees for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years,” commented Mike Hofman, Inc. editor-in-chief.

About Marcella

Marcella is a mission-driven, omnichannel women’s fashion brand offering designer essentials within reach. NYC designed and European handcrafted from locally sourced fabrics and trims, Marcella fashions itself as ethical, sustainable and socially impactful, where every major facet of the company’s operation benefits one central mission: advancing women and girls globally. At the heart of this approach is a partnership with CAMFED, the celebrated global NGO revolutionizing how girls’ education is delivered.
