Lean mean marketing machine. We are a small group of experts – each with our own specialties and decades of experience.

At Brave World Media we believe that no brand or destination message is successful without establishing an emotional connection with its audience. While we understand the importance of measuring and tracking success, we also know that people are not data. So while others define success through metrics, we focus on creating content that is authentic, compelling, beautiful, and memorable for real people. We offer visual services through graphic design, branding and web development, video production, and photography, as well as social media management and copywriting. Because we believe that every business, across all industries, can benefit from inclusive, diverse, and equitable marketing, these efforts are embedded in all the work we do.

Brave World Media is a certified Woman-owned, Minority-owned business by the Empire State Development of New York State and by the New York City Department of Small Business Services
