Business Overview
Hartford Creative Group, Inc. transitioned its business focus beginning in 2024 from legacy hospitality and early childhood education operations to media and marketing services in China, providing social media advertising, creative content production, and campaign management services across platforms including TikTok, Toutiao, Kwai, RED, WeChat, and Baidu. The company acquired ShaoXing HuoMao Network Technology Ltd. in June 2024 and established Nanjing HaoYiPeng Information Technology Ltd. in May 2025 to support expansion of media and marketing operations. In April 2026, the company launched a mini-drama application named YYYS designed to generate revenue through membership subscription services and advertising.

Forward Guidance
Management expects continued revenue growth and projects the generation of operating income during the next twelve months, which is expected to improve operating cash flows and support ongoing operations. The company aims to generate revenue from the YYYS application through membership subscription services and advertising-related services, though "there can be no assurance that these monetization strategies will generate sufficient user conversion or advertising revenue."
