Our take
Attn: is a media company that specialises in short-form news content for social media, aimed at Millennials and Gen-Z. Its focus is on content that mainstream news sources typically don't cover in-depth, including topics like drug policy, feminism, income inequality, and more.
While other media companies such as Vox Media and BuzzFeed offer a mix of content with a focus on entertainment, Attn: has found its niche in information and news, bringing important issues to young people in a format they can easily digest. The unique blend of information with humor and pop culture analogies has proved to be popular with more than 200 million views of its content over social media every month
In recent years, Attn: has achieved significant milestones that will undoubtedly propel its future success. Securing financial support from Instagram, a platform known for not compensating publishers, marks a huge breakthrough. This partnership will enable the creation of impactful content aimed at inspiring young individuals to vote. As well as being acquired by Candle Media in 2022, positioning Attn: for remarkable growth opportunities. Although the core essence of Attn: will remain intact, Candle's strategic plans to expand its presence across multiple platforms will pave the way for further achievements.
