Mammoth Media, A New Entertainment Network, Reaches 30% of US Teens With Live Video and Mobile Content

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Science Inc., the Los Angeles-based startup studio that creates, invests in, acquires and scales disruptive media and marketing companies, today announced the launch of Mammoth Media, an entertainment network for teens and millennials. Formerly known as Science Mobile Group, Mammoth is comprised of a broadcast network, a platform for publishers and mobile apps to reach younger cord-cutting audiences.

With lifestyle content that seamlessly transitions between live social video and in-app experiences, Mammoth is able to reach 30% of US teens on their preferred mediums – social networks and apps such a Musical.ly, Instagram and Facebook. Mammoth leverages live video engagement beyond the end of the stream and creates topical conversations on its owned and operated mobile apps that include Wishbone, Yarn, Frog Picks, and Daily Treat. The content and mobile properties serve as connective channels that keep teens and millennials entertained and captivated, giving brands an unprecedented reach with integrated content.

As advertising evolves, Mammoth enables global consumer brands to revolutionize how they reach and interact with new audiences that typically don't want to be advertised to.

Mammoth's current programming, including Viral.tv and Beauty Bible TV, has already reached 25 million users on Facebook. The company's mobile apps have more than 5 million monthly active users and have worked with partners like Sony Pictures, Taco Bell, Dunkin Donuts, Time Inc.'s People and more.

"The rapid growth of Facebook Live in the past year alone has made it glaringly apparent that there are robust new channels to reach young audiences with video," said Mammoth Chairman and Science CEO Michael Jones. "With Mammoth we are creating the next evolution in the traditional TV network, offering production, distribution, publisher, and advertising arms to reach young people with the formats they love.  Mammoth offers brands the unprecedented ability to reach tens of millions of teens and millennials at the onset of their campaigns, and rousing formats where branded content is as eagerly consumed as artist and user generated video."

Formerly the CEO of Myspace, Mammoth chairman and Science Inc. CEO Michael Jones has spent years overseeing global business strategy, operations and partnerships for digital media companies. Peter Szabo, former SVP, Head of Music and US Ad Sales at Shazam, has joined Mammoth as Chief Revenue Officer and Head of Partnerships. The team's experience across social media, mobile and content marketing gives Mammoth the unique ability to create a mobile alternative to a TV network for today's audiences.

The launch of Mammoth represents Science Inc.'s focus toward next generation media. For the last five years, Science Inc. has focused on strategy, growth, and operational efficiency for early-stage companies, resulting in over $2.6 billion in successful investor outcomes. The company achieved more exits than any fund in Los Angeles, with three portfolio exits in 2016 that include Dollar Shave Club selling to Unilever, FameBit selling to Google, and HelloSociety selling to the New York Times Co.
