As a new alternative for independent producers and distributors, Pivot provides premium content streaming services and transparency.
Operating globally, we enable producers to maximize content monetization while simultaneously expanding your audience through our influencer partnerships.
Pivot was created to empower and speak directly to diverse and emergent consumers. We founded the independent streaming platform, Pivot, to help visionary producers turn cultural currency into financial currency. That singular focus forged groundbreaking partnerships with celebrity icons and brands like Beats by Dre, Cîroc, Roland, Lyft, and YouTube Music and built innovative campaigns around artist-driven properties like the Pivot docuseries We Built This City. Other major brands have since awakened and now acknowledge the ever-evolving urban culture moves the world’s economy.
Meanwhile, the film business was changing as cord cutters turned toward OTT platforms. The internet decimated the old business model, as storytelling turned from traditional TV and theatrical exhibition to streaming.
This new era presented new opportunities for content creators to harness data and make more direct connections while simultaneously expanding their audiences, generating more exposure and value for themselves. Now content creators can leverage their Super Fans, enabling the smartest, independent thinking producers to control their own visions and financial destiny.
