Who are we? 🗞
#ThisMuchIKnow are building a news company that jumps out of your mobile devices and truly grabs the attention of the next generation.
We are at a turning point in the media industry – what is the next big thing?
We think we have the answer.
Now we have to build it.
We’re all about innovating how we share the news. Creating digestible, highly engaging formats that encourage constant interaction, builds trust and avoids sensationalism and negative bias. The tone is knowing, conspiratorial, sharing knowledge, wisdom and wit.
NEWS THAT ACTIVATES: News can feel overwhelming, especially a negative fast cycle of news. That’s why we try and form micro solutions to big news. Small and subtle forces can have a powerful effect. You can check out more here.
