Organization and Nature of Operations
Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (the “Company” or “Bright Mountain” or “We”) is a Florida corporation formed on May 20, 2010. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Bright Mountain LLC, was formed as a Florida limited liability company in May 2011. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Bright Mountain, LLC (“BMLLC”) F/K/A Daily Engage Media Group, LLC (“Daily Engage”) was formed as a New Jersey limited liability company in February 2015. In August 2019, Bright Mountain Israel Acquisition, an Israeli company was formed and acquired the wholly owned subsidiary Slutzky & Winshman Ltd. (“S&W”) which then changed its name to Oceanside Media LLC (“Oceanside”). Further, on November 18, 2019, Bright Mountain, through its wholly owned subsidiary BMTM2, Inc., a Florida corporation, acquired News Distribution Network, Inc. (“NDN”), a Delaware company, which then changed its name to MediaHouse, Inc. (“MediaHouse”). On June 1, 2020, Bright Mountain acquired the wholly owned subsidiary CL Media Holdings, LLC D/B/A “Wild Sky Media” (“Wild Sky”). When used herein, the terms “BMTM, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Bright Mountain” refers to Bright Mountain Media, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company is engaged in operating a proprietary, end-to-end digital media and advertising services platform designed to connect brand advertisers with demographically-targeted consumers – both large audiences and more granular segments – across digital, social and connected television (CTV) publishing formats. We define “end-to-end” as our process for taking ad buying from beginning to end, delivering a complete functional solution, usually without requiring any involvement from a third party.
Through acquisitions and organic software development initiatives, we have consolidated and plan to further condense key elements of the prevailing digital advertising supply chain through the elimination of industry “middlemen” and/or costly redundancy of services via our ad exchange network. Our aim is to enable and support a streamlined, end-to-end advertising model that addresses both demand (ad buy side) and supply (media sell side) for both direct sales teams and programmatic sales and publishing of digital advertisements that reach specific target audiences based on what, where, when and how that specific target audience elects to access certain web and/or streaming video content. Programmatic advertising relies on computer programs to use data and proprietary algorithms to select which ads to buy and for what price, while direct sales involve traditional interpersonal contact between ad buyers and advertising sales representative(s).
By selling advertisements on our current portfolio of 20 owned and operated websites and 13 CTV apps, coupled with acquisition or development of other niche web properties in the future, we are building depth in specific demographic verticals that allow us to package audiences into targeted consumer categories valued by advertisers.
Oceanside provides digital performance-based marketing services to customers which include primarily advertisers and advertising agencies that promote or sell products and/or services to consumers through digital media.
MediaHouse partners with content producers and online news market websites to distribute video and banner advertisements throughout the United States of America (“U.S.”).
Wild Sky owns and operates a collection of websites that offer significant global reach through its content and niche audiences and has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Wild Sky is the home to parenting and lifestyle brands.
