By providing a frictionless path to action and real-time analytics, we empower organizations to prove their value with data that goes beyond likes and shares.

What separates a film that entertains from a film that transforms? What happens after the final frame.

+Media partnered with the MTV Staying Alive Foundation to launch the Water Angel +Impact Hub transforming a powerful 14-minute film about Black maternal health into sustained community action.

In the U.S., Black women face maternal mortality rates 3–4 times higher than white women. Jawny’s story is the lived experience of too many families. This +Hub ensures awareness becomes action and viewers become advocates.

This is the future of impact storytelling, where every view becomes a voice for change.
