MyDamnChannel Celebrates A Year

One year ago, MyDamnChannel was born of pretty simple concept: empower real talent and get the hell out of the way. The success of the new media studio, both financially and creatively, is a testament to that philosophy. After just one year, the company has begun to reach over one million unique monthly viewers with ads from brands including Lincoln, Universal Pictures, Lionsgate, Southern Comfort, Puma, and HBO, and with revenue pacing to exceed $1 million by year’s end.

The birthday festivities include announcements of some interesting initiatives and more top-rate talent.
