History

[edit]

On August 19, 2008, SM Entertainment announced that it would establish SM Brand Marketing, adding it to its affiliates.[2] The company is in charge of brand planning and marketing consulting, such as planning, branding, and marketing on lifestyle businesses encompassing the restaurant industry, fashion, and food and beverage industries.[3] Sum, a celebrity shop run by the company, is where items related to the artists are sold and is located on the second floor of closed SM Town Coex Artium.[4][a] The shop offers merchandise products commercializing the company's artists.[7] SMBM also operates its global e-commerce platform SM Town &Store and retail shop SM Town &Store@DDP.[8]

On February 23, 2022, SMBM signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Binance to launch a global Play-to-Create (P2C) ecosystem.[9] In the future, SMBM plans to establish diverse environments wherein creators worldwide can participate in IP-based re-creation and earn profits transparently, including affiliated royalties.[10] SMBM and Binance will push for joint work to create a blockchain mainnet, NFT, and eco-fund.[11] The company also partnered with The Sandbox for its metaverse platform, P2C ecosystem, and SM Town Land, a themed space created in K-verse, an area for K-content in The Sandbox.[12] SMBM and The Sandbox will plan and create NFT products using their IP, production know-how, and technology and jointly operate a fan-participating service.[13]
