Welcome to Pepaj Media
HELLO.
Pepaj Media specializes in developing and producing passion-inducing content that celebrates food, pets, travel and other wonderful things in life. Our mission is to inspire and activate viewers around the globe.
OUR APPROACH
We’ve spent years understanding why and how viewers form a connection with content. Whether it’s producing TV series, building online communities, launching digital publishing platforms or developing interactive storytelling formats with branch narratives, our approach is deliciously simple; treat the audience with respect and focus on the type of content that we’re passionate about.
WHAT IS PEPAJ?
Pepaj is pronounced “Pep-eye.” It’s Albanian, which is another way of saying it’s fearless and free-minded with a can-do attitude. Our founder embraces the slightly rebellious nature of her forbearers from high in the Baltic mountains. Combine that with her French, Sicilian and Native American (Chippewa/Ojibway Tribe) roots, and what you get is a drive and resilience ready to conquer any challenge.
In addition to our television credits, we’ve spent 13 years in the digital space.
