📌At OBSCURAE, we don’t just cover culture—we start conversations. Our audience is made up of engaged, film-literate viewers who crave sharp analysis and cultural deep dives.

📱We're TikTok Native

Our viral impact is huge, and growing. In the last two months, we have had two cultural reviews over 100K views each, and, more importantly, have inspired viewers into deeper conversation with the art discussed.

  • I'm Still Here - 297K+ views, 53K+ likes, 693 comments, 2.7K shares, and 7.9K bookmarks - Engagement rate of 21.7%
  • Red Carpet Analysis: Pedro Pascal - 139K+ Views, 11k likes, 124 comments, 214 shares and 775 bookmarks - Engagement rate of 8.7%

We've also partnered with A24 on Spark Ads for their release of Celine Song's 'Materialists', and are announcing other partnerships soon.

🗞️We're as Evergreen as Legacy Media

We pride ourselves on slowing the trend cycle down, and bringing interesting and new conversations, and art, to the fore, that might get lost in the noise. Our dedicated Website, Memberships and Newsletter allow us to forge deeper relationships with our audience.

  • OBSCURAE Weekly: 73% engagement rate, with a 13% click-through rate—a highly engaged readership
    • Sections include: Article of the week; 'Trailer of the Week'; 'A word from..." audio clip; 'Hidden Gem of the Week'; a round-up of releases coming to, or still in theatres ("Keep your eye on...); 'Music Video of the Week'; and our Weekly audience polls.
  • Website Engagement: Average reader spends 3 minutes 14 seconds per visit, and a website member conversion rate of 3% and growing
  • Coverage with an angle: We aim not just to relay information, but spark discussion and discourse in our comments, and even further.

🎙️We're Audio-Visual

Alongside our TikTok and Website offerings, we are expanding our flagship podcast, Sophisticulture, and bringing Video Essays to our YouTube channel in 2025.

  • Sophisticulture is getting bigger: After interviewing two official national selections for Best International Film headed to the Academy Awards last year, we are relaunching Sophisticulture in May. Episodes will be 20-30 minutes long, and be a weekly showcase of 360 degree artistic exploration, across genres and disciplines.
  • We're growing fast on YouTube: Our watch time is up 315% from last month, as we pivot to short form fan edits and analysis, and long-form Video Essays
