el riu rao media — the in-house content studio of el riu rao.
We make the things people read, hear, and watch on the open internet.
el riu rao media is the in-house content studio of el riu rao, our venture builder. We write essays and annual reports, record podcasts and radio, shoot film and social, ship a newsletter every Friday, and sometimes print posters just because the right poster is still the best advertisement in the world.
We tell the stories of the ventures we build, and we work with outside brands who want to be read, not scrolled past. Five currents, one studio, one voice. We are small on purpose and fast as a consequence.
“riu rao” is the Catalan word for the specific, persistent sound a river makes on its way somewhere else. We named the company after it because that's what the best media does — keeps moving, keeps talking, doesn't stop to ask if you're listening.
