ABOUT
SERIOUS
BUSINESS




We believe that media is Serious Business.

Navigating the ever-changing media landscape requires a special sensibility.  At the end of the day we are media-snobs who love nerds. We are communications specialists and creative / social liaisons, with a focus in art, culture, food, drink, emerging tech, fashion and design.


What makes us different?
 ︎ Client Roster: diverse expertise and multiple specialities

 ︎ Strategy + Navigation: adept at planning as well as in-depth feature coverage

 ︎ Sensibility: allergic to BS; pitch perfect voice; strong relationships with a broad spectrum of media and creative talent.

 ︎ Saying No: it’s just as much about what you don’t do.


︎ Social Capital: our founders touch all the work we do and have worked as a team for nearly 20 years. Together we continue to develop a vast network of media, VIP and creative relationships  and have worked on over 200 projects since starting Serious Business in 2009.
