42px Media

This week, we hosted our very first 42px MediaVerse mixer, curated for our incredible community of multi-passionate women - space for creativity, ambition, and authentic connections. What is 42px MediaVerse? A close-knit community built by our Founders Shruti & Snigdha - where voices are amplified, meaningful connections are built, and new opportunities are created. We truly believe in community over competition. From founders, entrepreneurs, designers, marketers, and tech innovators, our guests represented the cutting-edge of their fields. As the sun dipped below the skyline, the STUDIO by Copper + Cloves was transformed into a vibrant hub where voices were amplified, ideas were exchanged, and meaningful relationships were forged. Over high-tea, with the most delicious bites, we engaged in lively discussions, swapping insights and exploring questions that drive us all. This event encapsulated the very essence of our mission – to empower trailblazers, catalyze creativity, and foster a community where individuals can unlock their full potential. As Douglas Adams so eloquently put it, 42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything." While we may not have all the answers yet, the inaugural 42px MediaVerse brought us one step closer to asking the right questions that drive pixel-perfect marketing and brand-building in today's ever-evolving landscape. To our guests, thank you for joining us on this maiden voyage into the MediaVerse. Your energy, your stories, and your spirit of curiosity made this inaugural event so special. For those who missed out, don't worry – this was just the first of many MediaVerse expeditions to come. Stay tuned. Who knows, you could just be a conversation away from meeting your co-founder, investor, co-worker, or bff! Together, we create. ?? #42pxMediaVerse #PassionNauts #CommunityOverCompetition #TogetherWeCreate

The fascinating thing about pitch events is that they reveal patterns you wouldn't notice otherwise. When you put 20 founders on the stage, from different corners of the world, each with limited time to explain their vision, you start to see what really matters. The art of pitching under pressure revealed itself in two forms. Detailed five-minute deep dives where founders unpacked their visions. Lightning 60-second pitches where every word had to count. Both formats pushed founders to do something incredibly difficult - distill years of work and passion into moments of clarity. Hosting "Pitch Perfect: Your idea's big break" at SF TECH WEEK by a16z was more than I could have hoped for. People weren't just there to present or judge - they were there to learn, to connect, to build. What struck me most was how founders who had just pitched started giving each other advice, and how the audience, instead of thinning out, stayed engaged until the last pitch. Thank you Mala, Vince, Hardik, and Lei — for going beyond giving feedback and asking the kind of detailed questions that usually only come up in private meetings. And to our partners EchoHer, CMU Tech & Entrepreneurship, Matija Pavicevic 马丁, Roan Weigert ??, and the incredible founders who shared their visions with us —?Michael Cutajar | Brandon Amoroso ? | Joan Rodriguez | Derek Gregg | Timothy Sun | Daniil Sergunin | Juan Pablo Linares Uscher | Nnamdi Adom | Faraan Irfan | Amir Zarkesh | Daud Grewal | Jonathan Brown | Navneet Sankarambadi | Arjun Chintapalli | Bhavani Kalisetty | Wayne Chan | Matthew Lin | Erfan Erken | Breck Yunits | Jordan Gray?— you made this event what it was. See you at the next one! 42px Media #SFTechWeek

What an evening! ??

No two businesses are alike. So why should social media strategies look the same? Tired of cookie-cutter solutions from marketing agencies for our own D2C brands, Snigdha Singh and I decided to start one that actually cares. Some agencies care about the brand. Some care about the brand owner. Some care about the millions of social-media-consuming digital audiences. Why are we different? Because we care about all three. 42px Media is an AI-first marketing agency obsessed with going beyond vanity metrics, and bringing real tangible value to businesses through pixel-perfect storytelling. - Your brand is unique. - Your audience is unique. - You grow if your audience buys what you sell. - Your audience will buy if they “actually like” your content and *how* you’re “selling”. We care, and that’s our biggest USP. From creative strategies to media production, social media management, personal branding and everything in between - we *tailor* solutions to help your business thrive. Together, we create. ?? ?

Pixel-Perfect Storytelling. ?

Highlights from last night.?? Our thesis at 42px Media is to add value. These events are an attempt to create and share space with fellow founders - who are looking for like-minded people who have been through or are facing similar challenges. It's community and collaboration over competition. Couldn't have asked for a co-host better than Qianwen Chen and EchoHer. To many more events that add value and build our community! ??

To many more! ? ??
