With today’s toxic media hurting us all, our companypurpose is to harness the power of storytelling to help heal, not harm. We serve a values-aligned economy where consumers increasingly back brands that share their values. With so many of us suffering from the adverse effects of negative media (anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc.), consumers are seeking out positive media but, while there are many family-friendly or faith-based options, no home for “Sundance-quality” uplifting content exists.Lightbeam’s audience comes to us to reboot their faith in humanity: we appeal to “conscious consumers,” the very demo that brands have a hard time connecting with. Lightbeam helps brand create purposeful content and distribute it “authentically” to these coveted mindful consumers. Lightbeam taps an exploding free streaming industry: in 2022 AVOD is growing faster than SVOD (29% versus 21%, Comscore), and we are also trailblazing with Web3. Lightbeam is powered by a hybrid business model: branded video-on-demand (BVOD) and tokenized video-on-demand (TVOD). With BVOD, brands no longer disrupt the entertainment they become it, and with TVOD, viewers binge-to-impactTM special assets, privileges and experiences.
