Mediaload runs native-language news and entertainment sites Khmerload (Khmer) and Myanmarload (Burmese), focusing on viral entertainment, celebrities and lifestyle rather than politics. The sites are monetized primarily through advertising, and the company is increasing investment in video and social-first multimedia to grow reach and revenue. Mediaload reports around 56 million page views per month and over seven million unique visitors across its two sites, and its Facebook presence includes about 3.1 million fans for Khmerload and 5.1 million for Myanmarload. The company employs roughly 30 staff (11 on the Myanmar business) and is a registered entity in Singapore with an employer stock program under consideration. Mediaload says it has been profitable almost since inception and is targeting about $1 million in ad revenue for the year. The business is highly dependent on Facebook distribution (about 90% of Myanmar traffic from Facebook Instant Articles) and is building social-native video and chatbot/Line distribution. Management plans to expand selectively across Southeast Asia (Indonesia pilot reached 400,000 Facebook fans) and is considering Vietnam as a future market.
