Empowering Locals At Scale
The internet is an excellent place to learn lots of things, and discovering local relevant content is not one of them. By combining a central hub for local culture and a creator community, consumers can find content local content, and creators can make more money publishing original content exclusively on That Video Mag than on other platforms.
Platforms are making money off their users' backs while convincing them to remain loyal no matter what. People, not just platforms, deserve to reap the monetary benefits of having an active community. New platforms that balance profit and purpose by putting a premium on sharing power and resources are desperately needed. Publishing wasn't just about stories; it delivered value. Our mission is to empower local communities, increase the economic opportunity among underrepresented audiences, and make people's lives better by uncovering and amplifying their stories. We help people find things that make communities exciting places to work, live, and play with videos and stories not found anywhere else.
Who Are We?
Dexter Bayack
Founder and CEO
I started my first business to supplement my part-time income at UPS. I was on welfare when I borrowed $100 from a family member and became a self-taught window tinter. I secured window tinting contracts with automotive shops throughout Brooklyn and Queens. Three years later, I left UPS to open a window tinting and mobile electronics shop called The Car Spa. The Car Spa was featured in the New York Daily News.
I'm an automotive enthusiast, entrepreneur, and creator with 14 years of experience in web development, video production, photography, marketing, event production, and product development. In 2007 I created a video magazine and community for automotive enthusiasts named TunerlifestyleTV. In 2010 I added new topics and rebranded as UrbancityTV, which took its final form as That Video Mag in 2012.
