Arsalan Javed Continues to Expand Pakistan’s Digital Entertainment Landscape Through Original Drama Productions
Pakistan’s digital entertainment industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and among the professionals driving this transformation is Arsalan Javed, Founder & CEO of Cookie Media and Medium Pace Entertainment. By combining content production, digital distribution, audience growth strategies, and OTT partnerships under one ecosystem, Arsalan Javed has established a model that connects compelling storytelling with modern digital platforms.
Over the past few years, Cookie Media has become one of Pakistan’s leading digital media and Multi-Channel Network (MCN) companies, working with hundreds of YouTube channels while also collaborating with leading OTT platforms. Building on this strong digital foundation, Medium Pace Entertainment has focused on creating original Pakistani dramas that are designed for today’s online audience while maintaining the emotional depth and storytelling traditions that local viewers appreciate.
A Vision Beyond Television
The Pakistani entertainment industry is witnessing a significant shift from conventional television broadcasting toward digital-first content consumption. Millions of viewers now choose YouTube, OTT platforms, and connected devices to watch their favorite dramas whenever and wherever they want.
Recognizing this change early, Arsalan Javed envisioned an ecosystem where production and distribution work together seamlessly. Instead of producing content solely for television, the focus has shifted toward creating stories that are optimized for YouTube, streaming platforms, and international digital audiences.
This approach enables dramas to reach viewers not only across Pakistan but also among the global Pakistani diaspora and audiences interested in Urdu-language entertainment.
