Falcon’s Beyond opens office in Manila

Falcon’s Beyond, a fully integrated global entertainment development company specialising in intellectual property (IP) creation and expansion, is opening up in Manila early 2023

Falcon’s Creative Philippines is expected to employ approximately 20 new associates within the next quarter to support and expand Falcon’s Creative Group, a division of Falcon’s Beyond that provides master planning, creative design, media and audio production and experiential technology to customers around the world.

The new office’s team of local talent will include illustrators, architectural designers, modelers, and artists, as well as media and interactive gaming designers who will serve as an extension of the company’s Orlando-based team of nearly 100 associates. This new international team will work on world-class projects in the themed entertainment space.

“As someone of Filipino decent, it has been a lifelong dream of mine, as well as my father, to open a Falcon’s office in the Philippines and support its vast array of local talent,” said Cecil D. Magpuri, CEO of Falcon’s Beyond. “We are excited to expand our company’s footprint globally and build a team of passionate storytellers and creatives to support our portfolio of high-profile international entertainment projects.”

In July this year, Falcon’s Beyond, and FAST II, a special purpose acquisition company entered into a definitive merger agreement that is expected to result in Falcon’s Beyond becoming a publicly listed company on Nasdaq.

Upon the closing of the transaction, the new combined company will be named “Falcon’s Beyond Global.

Falcon’s Beyond has collaborated with some of the most accomplished entertainment IP holders across the globe and has established multiple joint ventures with Meliá Hotels International (“Melia”) to co-own and co-operate multiple beachside resorts and parks. The Company has been involved in the master planning of more than US$100 billion worth of development projects, producing award-winning entertainment experiences, and creating exceptional media content and experiential technology for worldwide audiences.

Falcon’s Beyond’s business segments’ list of client and IP collaborators includes Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Atlantis, Marvel, National Geographic, NASA, AT&T, Lego, Hard Rock, Formula 1, Lionsgate, Cartoon Network and Microsoft, among others.
