Media Market

Good Needs Better Distribution

If you believe good stories deserve better distribution—join the build. No gatekeepers. No permission required.

Mobilized Features two Marketplaces:

  • Media Marketplace
  • Solutions Marketplace

The problem

  • Media markets and content expos claim to “open doors” — but most of those doors are locked.
  • Participation at Major industry markets like NAB Show, MIPCOM, Cannes, SXSW and TIFF cost $1000’s to participate (admission, add-ons, sponsorship, exhibiting, etc…)
  • Airfare + lodging adds another $1,800–$3,000(Variety Industry Cost Survey, 2024)
  • 82% of independent creators say industry networking is “financially out of reach”(Adobe Creator Economy Study, 2025)
  • Most markets close the minute the event ends, killing ongoing opportunity

Who loses most? Independent creators, educators, mission-driven studios, global south storytellers, and community media.

Why it matters

Media isn’t just entertainment anymore — it shapes public imagination, democracy, and culture.

Yet:

  • 80% of global media is owned by six corporations(Reporters Without Borders, 2024)
  • Corporate consolidation is shrinking independent voices(Columbia Journalism Review)
  • Public interest storytelling lacks distribution, visibility, and sustainability
  • If creators can’t access the market, communities lose their voice.

The gap

Today’s media economy has platforms, festivals, expos, and streamers — but no unified marketplace for opportunity.

What doesn’t exist (yet):

❌ Year-round access
❌ Global + inclusive entry
❌ Licensing transparency
❌ Purpose-driven curation
❌ Creator-owned revenue pathways

The opportunity

  • A virtual, always-on media marketplace built for:
  • Creators
  • Distributors
  • Media Outlets
  • Showcase content + pitches
  • Discover new talent globally
  • Source meaningful stories
  • Earn licensing revenue
  • Audience + impact insights
  • Co-produce purpose-driven series
  • Find partners + funders
  • Local + global deal flow
  • Build trust with conscious viewers
  • Built for this moment

By the Numbers

  • 25 million new creators entered media since 2020(Stripe Creator Index)
  • Purpose-led content outperforms generic by 4.2x(Nielsen Impact Study)
  • Education + impact content market now $68B(HolonIQ, 2025)
  • Global audiences demand values-based content(Edelman Trust Insights)
  • The creative economy is growing — but distribution hasn’t evolved.

The Mobilized News Solution

Mobilized is building a Federated Media Marketplace:

✅ Creator-owned submissions
✅ Syndication + licensing tools
✅ Purpose + education + solutions content focus
✅ Accessible from anywhere — no gatekeepers
✅ Works across TV, web, film, audio, and live media

The bottom line

  • Markets shouldn’t be gated. Access shouldn’t be sold. Creativity shouldn’t need permission.
  • If the current media system won’t distribute what matters — we will.
