1919 Media Company Expands Its Reach

The expansion of 1919 Media Company from media production and entertainment into brand partnerships, social media and original storytelling deepens their commitment to bringing original content to both screen and digital applications. "The reality is that storytelling and public engagement has changed drastically over the years, due largely to social media and the growth of streaming platforms, which have taken viewership away from traditional theaters to the comfort of people's homes," said CEO and Screenwriter, Dionne Roberts-Emegha. As of May 2022, 78% of Americans subscribed to some sort of streaming service, with most enjoying the convenience, structure, and privacy of watching content on their own terms. "This is really a great opportunity for us to push ourselves into unknown territory, by developing content that goes beyond political correctness and delves into the way Americans really think and behave. We want content that is honest, that challenges the status quo, and makes people question their personal morals and ethics -- and we want to deliver it the way they want to see it."

In addition to acquiring "The Raising of an O.G.", an original television series that will explore issues of masculinity, social mobility, and family bonds, 1919 Media will venture into branch partnerships and social media to engage new markets and provide industry knowledge to a new generation of future storytellers and content makers.
