Straight Up Stardust: Kicking Off Our Q2 Roadmap
🎬
In this issue...
1. The Split: We’re officially splitting MRVL WRLD into Productions and Studios to better serve the distinct needs of strategic brands and OTT episodic content and shows.

2. The Premiere: Mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 28th, for the world premiere of The New Rules Episode 1.

3. The Event: We’re burning the traditional panel-discussion model to make room for Gas.Flick.Flame.—a hands-on creator series where networking actually results in work.

4. The Socials: From HIIT runs at Julian B. Lane to movie nights and bowling, we’re hitting the ground running toward our goal of 100 WRLD WIDE members.

Q2 of every year is always such a fun time for MRVL WRLD. The New Year energy really transfers over from planning straight into the madness of practical execution and getting thing done. We call it madness, but of course, it's where all the fun and excitement honestly happens. It's when the calendars really start to book up, and the shutters really get to clicking.

We call this season of our calendar, Straight Up Stardust. With so much in our sights, be sure to keep up with us for opportunities, promotions on video production, and an a general outlook on what's to come this quarter.

The Best of Both Worlds: The New Rules Era

Over the last 5 and a half years, MRVL WRLD has leaned heavily into our video production capabilities, driving value to clients through high fidelity video production to meet their own strategic goals and needs. In 2023, we took began building on streaming with the launch of our Vivid Life TV streaming series, which ran through 2025 bringing us a new perspective on how the needs of creators ad streamers differ from other video production needs.

In 2026, we're recognizing how we deliver to these two avenues as MRVL WRLD Productions (video production) and MRVL WRLD Studios (on-demand video, streaming, and Over-the-Air TV, or OTT).

Earlier this year, I announced the launch of "The New Rules", and released the first pilot episode of that show. As we get closer to the premiere of the first episode, we're also watching in real-time how Productions and Studios supports one another.

Lola the Manager joins MRVL WRLD.

Joining MRVL WRLD to make MRVL WRLD Studios a real life thing: Lola The Manager. I'm happy and excited to be working with Lola once again as she brings years and depth of Project Management expertise to assist in the development of this new venture. Lola's own experience as a content creator and managing her own episodic YouTube series helps us level out video production strategy at a more grounded level with streaming platform needs.

As for "The New Rules", you can sit tight as the premiere of Episode 1 is set for Tuesday, April 28th, 2026.


Networking Our Way: Gas.Flick.Flame.

The Gas.Flick.Flame. Era Has Officially Begun.

In that same spirit, we believe networking and creator events need new rules, too.

And that's where Gas.Flick.Flame. enters the chat.

Typical creator networking events are stiff, draining environments that fall short of fostering genuine collaboration between creators. Attendees often arrive with high hopes and active participation, only to sit through repetitive panel discussions.

As a solution, this event series is being built as an active event series designed to eliminate forced networking and prioritize hands-on creation.

We are developing a concept that delivers genuine value to our entire community of creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses. By uniting diverse talents and disciplines, we establish a collaborative environment designed to generate repeatable success for everyone involved.

Being said, this is where we've developed our very first sponsorship, partners, and featured creators' opportunity as an opening for being integrated into the MRVL WRLD ecosystem.

Sponsorships, partners, and Featured Creator inquiries have no time-sensitivity, and it's never too early to inquire. This is a rolling and open submission.
