Brian Graden Media

If producers were treated like TV stars, Brian Graden would be a household name. Instead, he’s happier making his impact behind the scenes, helping foster and develop some of the most forward-thinking and beloved programming of the last 30 years. After his days leading cable networks MTv, MTV2, VH1, CMT, and LOGO, it was time for a new chapter in Brian Graden’s story. 2013 saw the creation of Brian Graden Media (BGM), a full-service production company creating work for a variety of 21st-century media: a crack squad of musicians, fashionistas, artists, hikers, gamers, music festival junkies, debate geeks, and sports fanatics working together to create pro-social, WTF-inducing, LOL-generating pop culture programming at the intersection of linear and digital entertainment. In a career spent perpetually on the cutting edge, it only makes sense that Brian’s own shop would take that to a new level. In today’s entertainment landscape, viewers are finding their favorite shows in more places than ever. Brian Graden Media’s programming can be found across the cable and streaming outlets where the most exciting work in visual entertainment is happening. From the Streamy Award-winning YouTube Original Escape the Night, to true crime doc The Disappearance of Natalee Holloway for Oxygen, to the Emmy-award winning Netflix show HitRECord, Brian Graden Media’s guiding principle is bringing great stories to wherever people are seeking them out, developing and delivering pilots for over 20 networks including BET, A&E, Disney Channel, Bravo, POP TV, and many others. Brian Graden himself has been the recipient of numerous awards including the GLAAD Media Vito Russo Award for Excellence in Media, the EQCA Award for Commitment to Advancing LGBT Equality, and the Equality Forum’s Tom Stoddard National Role Model Award. Brian Graden Media were honored with the Thrive Tribe’s Media Award for advancing public awareness of HIV in an episode of Finding Prince Charming.
