Madison Wells Media to Rebrand and Rename Company to MWM

Madison Wells Media today announced the rebrand of its company and divisions under one cohesive brand name, MWM. As part of the rebrand, the company will introduce new logos as well as renamed divisions, including MWM Studios (formerly OddLot Entertainment), MWM Immersive (formerly Reality One) and MWM Live (formerly Relevant Theatricals). The move is another step toward realizing the company's vision to become the world's leading bespoke storytelling platform delivering elevated entertainment to consumers worldwide.

Co-founded in 2015 by award-winning producer Gigi Pritzker and Clint Kisker, MWM is a diversified media and entertainment company empowering creators to cross-pollinate content between film, television, live event, digital video and AR/VR in order to grow brands in a more enriching, entertaining and engaging way.

"Clint and I set out to build a company from the ground up and organize people differently to be more nimble and operate to maximize the current reality of the media business where iteration and fluidity are keys to success," says MWM co-founder and CEO Gigi Pritzker. "By bringing together our divisions under one cohesive name, MWM, we believe we can better streamline our business and enhance how stories are experienced by bringing them to life across multiple platforms and properties."

Named one of Fast Company's Top Ten Most Innovative Companies in Hollywood for 2017, MWM has already created and released some of the most ground breaking and critically acclaimed work in film, television, live theatre and immersive, and offers a platform upon which creators can build businesses around their IP. MWM will continue to partner with storytellers to create, produce and distribute best in class content across a range of mediums and provide a creative home for some of the world's most promising creators enabling them develop original concepts that will eventually be fostered and built by the various MWM divisions.

"We are proud that in a relatively short amount of time, our team has proven we can execute the highest level of quality across a range of media, and with the growth of the platform we are excited to take this step in focusing our entire team around one brand," said MWM co-founder and President Clint Kisker. "All our divisions and their executives work in partnership with storytellers to bring best in class entertainment to life, and it's important that our brand reflect that as we continue to grow our footprint."
