In this one-hour interview, I had the pleasure of having a great conversation with the legend, Rich Antoniello.
Rich Antoniello is a Founder and the Former CEO of Complex Networks, a global media company and one of the most influential voices in popular culture today. In 2016, Rich Antoniello oversaw the acquisition of Complex Media by Verizon and Hearst to become Complex Networks. The joint venture, led by Antoniello, develops and distributes original programming for its channels – Complex, First We Feast, Pigeons and Planes and Sole Collector – and through output deals with distributors including Netflix, Facebook, Fuse, MSG, Verizon and more. The company cultivates content that spans across popular culture and reaches the coveted 18-24-year-old male audience, from music to movies, sports to video games and fashion to food. Antoniello joined the company as CEO in 2003 and has transformed Complex from an influential print publication, known for delivering a sharp editorial blend of pop-culture and style trends, into a 360-degree media company reaching millions of hyper-engaged millennials every month.
