In November 2018, Bran Black founded branNEWmedia with a simple but personal intention: build a platform where creatives — musicians, fashion designers, and beyond — could be seen, uplifted, and given real tools to close the gap between where they are and where their talent deserves to take them.

​

"I knew directly what it felt like to create in the dark. I wanted to build a place where that feeling was minimized for other creatives."

​

What began as a music news outlet grew into a full creative hub — offering Release Rollout, World-Building, consulting, and advertising for emerging and even more established talent. From the beginning, our focus has been the same: bridging the gap between emerging and mainstream through the art of storytelling.

​

In August 2020, branNEWrunway (BNR) launched as a natural extension of that same mission — bringing the same intent into fashion and style storytelling. Through trial and error, and a relentless commitment to learning, adapting, and evolving, our content and platforms have generated millions of views and helped artists, designers, and brands gain thousands of new followers through our features, content, and rollouts.

​

Today, branNEWmedia serves as the holding company and services hub behind our growing family of platforms — BNR as our fashion division, BNM (branNEWmusic) being our music media division, and sports media being on the horizon...

​

Our mission remains constant: to evolve the space of storytelling across music, fashion, and culture — curating work that pushes thought and invites deeper thinking.
