Last week, food delivery giant Ele.me announced that it’s teamed up with youth entertainment site Bilibili on a one-off joint membership that will further keep young consumers at their desk.
Ele.me, which means “are you hungry?” in Chinese, was sold to ecommerce behemoth Alibaba in April. Bilibili, which went public in the U.S. this year, started as a video streaming service focused on animes and has evolved into a one-stop destination for all things related to youth cultures: Animes, comics, cosplay, video games and other niches that you and I may fail to name.
Their marriage gives subscribers the best of both worlds: Unlimited streaming of animes and deep discounts on food delivery orders. Bilibili has been doubling down on content investments in recent months, which saw it agree to buy out most of the comics assets of Netease, one of China’s largest internet companies.
