Mission
Rough Draft Media (RDM) produces high-quality digital content built on a foundation of creative, cinematic, and interactive storytelling.
In a digital media landscape focused on quantity and virality, RDM focuses finds its roots in quality.
Values
1. Transparency
We share our thoughts in a way that embodies a “rough draft.” Information distributed by RDM is transparent, traceable, and verifiable to certify the quality of our word and willingness to be held accountable.
2. Curation > saturation
With 1.3 billion uploads to Instagram(source), 34 million videos to TikTok(source), 3.7 million videos to YouTube(source), and 252 thousand websites created each day(source), we all live in an over-saturated digital landscape.
What if there was a way to find quality without trying?
Think of RDM as the gray area between highfalutin arthouse and mainstream media.
3. The rough draft
A rough draft is a creative philosophy that embraces process and imperfection. In the process of creativity, we now look for quality in a saturated landscape.
