Naver Webtoon partnered up with Apple for a new campaign titled ¡°Made on iPad,¡± featuring 10 of the platform¡¯s most prominent creators in a move that shifts the focus of brand collaborations from popular characters to the creators them
¸±°ÔÀÓ¹æ¹ý selves.
The campaign, which began on Dec. 15, highlights the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro as tools used in real-world creative workflows by webtoonists rather than showcasing polished, fin

Rather than embedding products into existing narratives or relying on popular stories, the collaboration foregrounds creators¡¯ w

Special illustrations drawn on the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil Pro have been added to the latest episodes of each participating series, and a dedicated curation page has been launched on the platform to showcase the content. Video clips documenting the creative process have also been released through Naver Webtoon¡¯s YouTube channel.

"Through co-productions with entertainment giants like Ubisoft, Marvel, and DC Comics, Naver Webtoon and Webtoon Entertainment have solidified their position as a premier ecosystem where brands can bring complex narratives and expansive world-building to life through digital content," said Naver Webtoon.
