The Opportunity
Low Battery is building culture’s most influential social-first platform for the next-generation of fans across music, sports, fashion and more. What started with RapTV (@rap) is now a network of 9 brands and 53M fans reaching 200M+ monthly.
Our Brand Partnerships business is early, and impressive. In under 2 years we’ve built a multiple 7 figure engine working with category defining brands. Apple Music, DoorDash, Levi’s, Domino’s and more trust us to help them reach youth culture through social, video, custom IP, tentpole alignment and much more.
What makes this opportunity rare? Timing. Consumer attention has shifted permanently to culture-driven, social-native content. Brands who win are embedded organically in those conversations and places fans care about.
We already own the space operating the largest social-first brands in music, fashion and gaming; with presence at key moments from Super Bowl to the CMAs; and relationships with the artists, athletes and creators defining this era.
Now, we’re looking for a leader to take the foundation we’ve built, and scale it. It’s about continuing to position Low Battery as a leader in culture & social in the marketplace; leveraging your experience & relationships to bring in revenue; and building out an organization that can go to 8 figures.
For someone who wants to build and lead it’s a career defining opportunity.
