NEW
YORK, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Public,
the investing platform that lets members invest in stocks, ETFs,
crypto, bonds, options, and alternative assets,
announces the expansion of its editorial and content network for
retail investors by launching the Public Media Network. Since
launching its editorial arm in 2021, the company has expanded its
content network, introducing new shows in partnership with ARK
Invest, growing its flagship content series, "Leading Indicator,"
and launching a new podcast, "The Rundown," hosted by Zaid Admani, currently ranking in Spotify's Top
10 Business podcasts.
Since 2021, Public has continued to grow its media network and
community, sharing new content through YouTube, Instagram, creator
partnerships, newsletters, in-app, and X short-form videos.
Public's shows and content partnerships have garnered tens of
millions of organic views across all channels this year alone.
Viewership has doubled year-to-date as Public continues to produce
new content.
This year, Public is adding more hosts and shows to its roster
and revamping the editorial content. The new shows and podcasts
include:
- The Rundown: A five-minute daily stock market
update hosted by finance creator Zaid
Admani. It launched in the Public app in October 2023 and on Spotify and Apple Podcasts in
January 2024.
- Leading Indicator: A video show featuring
interviews with executives of publicly traded companies, Wall
Street analysts, reporters, economists, and more. Currently
hosted by Ann Berry, Kyla Scanlon, J.D. Durkin, Nora Ali, and Kinsey Grant, with new hosts
joining the show, including Axios' Senior Business Reporter,
Hope King.
- The Brainstorm: A weekly video
series in co-production with ARK Investment Management LLC ("ARK
Invest" or "ARK"): Hosted by Nick
Grous, Associate Portfolio Manager at ARK, and Sam Korus, Director of Research Autonomous
Technology & Robotics at ARK. ARK's team shares insights about
trending developments in tech and interviews with executives from
emerging technology companies.
"Investors are eager for financial content, but they are not
consuming it in the way traditional media companies are delivering
it," said Mike Teich, Head of
Editorial at Public. "Public's content resonates with retail
investors because it's being crafted in engaging formats on the
platforms they spend the most time on. Public will be a leading
financial news source by being a first-mover on media trends and
collaborating with top-tier talent."
"I'm incredibly excited to help everyday investors understand
the big picture behind corporate strategies," said Hope King, Senior Business Reporter at
Axios. "As a journalist, it's my passion to connect dots and go
deep with my guests to get to the heart of the matter. And as
someone who worked on Wall Street for a long time before
transitioning to news, I love being able to translate jargon into
actionable insights."
"It's an honor to serve as a host for Public's shows over the
last three years, interviewing public company CEOs and fund
managers, breaking down the biggest headlines, from earnings to
major mergers, and connecting with retail investors," said
Ann Berry, founder of Threadneedle
Strategies. "Public's editorial and content network demystifies
the markets, the US economy, and business trends, allowing retail
investors to easily access financial education."
"Let's be honest, finance can be kind of intimidating. My goal
with content has been to bring some humor to the finance world and
show millennials that investing isn't just for Wall Street suits,"
said Zaid Admani, founder of
Admani Media. "That's why I'm excited to be working with Public
because they embrace delivering this kind of finance news. Our goal
is to break things down with real-world examples, a little humor,
and maybe the occasional meme."
"As a financial creator, I make content about the economy and
stock market and help individuals understand the economy and world
around them," said Kyla Scanlon,
Founder at Bread. "I love creating new content and working with
companies like Public because they are focused on education and
putting their investors first. The content I make with Public
intends to educate retail investors about the economy and help them
make better decisions in the world around them."
Public's content and editorial networks are editorially
independent of the company and provide retail investors with top
business and finance news, expert insights, and helpful context on
the public markets. In the long term, Public aims to be a leading
media and news network for investors, where they can access all
their financial news information in short-form videos in new
formats and on various platforms.
