Jungle Media is the home of our portfolio of award-winning social media brands. We have pioneered some of the world's biggest communities; from Twisted on food and drink, to VT on entertainment, Four Nine on female lifestyle, Craft Factory on DIY and family and Lovimals, Level Fitness and Futurology on pets, fitness and tech. With over 147 million (and counting) followers across all major social platforms, our team of creators, content producers, and social strategy specialists know how to create content that gets people watching, talking, and reacting. Our brands reach millions of people every single day through our video content, websites, podcasts (and even restaurants).

The Wild is a publisher-powered social and influencer agency born out of Jungle Creations. We saw an opportunity to unlock data & insight from Jungle's 140M+ global audiences and bring a decade of our social publisher expertise to brands. With a roster of international clients including Red Bull, PepsiCo, and Disney, we drive brands to unlock social, build community, and break into culture - on and beyond social.
