Mission Media AI has secured new funding at an eight-figure valuation.
The company says the investment will help it move faster on product development, expand its reach with a flagship office in New York, and create more ways for creators and brands to earn money across multiple platforms.
Mission Media AI positions itself as a fast-growing technology and media-representation business that uses distribution tools with AI to support modern creators, and the new capital marks a significant step in the company’s plans to scale this year.
As part of that expansion, the team is growing with two senior hires. Joanna Gingold has joined as Vice President of Strategic Accounts after nearly twenty years working across media, sport, and technology.
She has previously held key roles at Curiosity Stream, PlaymakerHQ, iHeartMedia, and Audacy, where she helped develop large-scale partnerships for major brands including DraftKings, FanDuel, Gatorade, WNBA, New Balance, NCAA, NFL, Sony Pictures, NWSL, and Caesars.
Her background in building integrated media programmes is expected to play a central role in Mission Media AI’s next stage of growth.
Kate Hughes has joined as Associate Account Executive after four years in advertising sales at companies such as FOX Corporation and Forbes Media.
Her most recent work at FOX News Media involved running high-impact partnerships for clients including Walmart, Verizon, Paramount Global, and PrizePicks across channels such as TMZ, OutKick, FOX News, FOX Business, and FOX Sports.
Mission Media AI says her experience working across large media portfolios will support its growing slate of clients and partners.
Speaking about the new funding, CEO David Krulewich said today that the investment represents a turning point for the company.
He added that the additional capital will help Mission Media AI strengthen its technology, widen its media supply, and continue building a team capable of supporting brand and creator partnerships at scale.
He also said that Gingold and Hughes reflect the company’s focus on hiring talent with a strong understanding of both client needs and the evolving media landscape.
Mission Media AI is positioning these moves as the start of a broader expansion phase, with further product updates and commercial developments expected later this year.
The company’s goal is to use technology and distribution tools to create clearer links between brands, creators, and audiences across every major channel.
