About Us

Crane.tv is a contemporary-culture video magazine, focusing on arts, design, style, food and travel around the world.

Launched in 2010, Crane.tv comprises a talented team of journalists, videographers, producers and digital marketers — gifted storytellers who present emerging and established creative scenes from around the world.

In developing an editorial approach that transcends sex, age and nationality, Crane.tv appeals to a mindset rather than a strict demographic, to tastemakers interested in thoughtstyle as well as lifestyle.

We have established a rich content ecosystem that allows our audience to pull Crane.tv into their world by various means. Whether it's streamed online, watched whentravelling, or found via our 50+ syndication partners, our content sparks conversation in over 150 countries.

We also bring our influence to bear offline, hosting screenings, exhibitions and talks around the world with leading luminaries from the culture industries.

Because of our ability to connect with audiences who are hard to reach with traditional media, brands started asking us to help craft and tell their stories to our viewers.

In 2012, the group consequently launched Cult, a content marketing agency that utilizes Crane.tv’s insight, access, storytelling and distribution capabilities to bridge the gap between what advertisers want to say and what their consumers really want to hear.
