Wide Open Media

Wide Open Media (WOM) is building out the first digital network of content and community sites that is filling the need of the "Heartland Consumer." These consumers can be found both in NYC and the bayous of Louisiana, they self identify with a country lifestyle, country music, hunting, fishing, boating and domestic travel. Traditionally, venture-backed digital media companies are based in NYC, LA or SF and have ignored the 98M consumers who make up this market. WOM launched our first site, Wide Open Spaces (WOS), focused on hunting and fishing enthusiasts in the fall of 2013. Over the past fifteen months, we've grown to over 3.75M monthly unique visitors, a market-leading position in the space. We are now applying the many learnings from WOS, to launch and efficiently scale four adjacent verticals in the 2014 focused on the heartland consumer. The first of these sites, Wide Open Country, launched in February 2015, focusing on country music, lifestyle & entertainment.
