What We Do
Broadband is a game-changer. Media Mechanics has been assisting traditional media take advantage of the wealth of new opportunities that a multiplatform world offers. At the same time, as broadband allows creators to bypass the gatekeeper, we’ve been working with companies and content holders to create branded content that, in some cases, goes directly to the consumer.
We recognize that a great multiplatform production strategy is not just about re-purposing content from one platform for another. Instead it’s all-encompassing – developing a strategy for taking a vibrant brand to the consumer on the consumer’s terms.
We also recognize that every media property, every brand, and every market is different. The stakeholders are different. We’ve worked with clients large and small, commercial and non-commercial, entrepreneurial and institutional to specifically tailor solutions based on individual needs.

Media Mechanics assisted Starbucks Entertainment with the development and launch of its branded channel on XM Satellite Radio. Designed to bring to life the Starbucks brand and musical compass, the programming was heard as Starbucks XM Café until the time of the Sirius/XM merger. It’s just one example of the type of branded content we can create for you.
