Media Village

What Media Village does

Media Village, operated by MyersBizNet, Inc., is a private B2B thought leadership and community platform serving the media, advertising, marketing, and entertainment industries. Headquartered in Rhinebeck, New York, and founded around 2010-2014 (sources conflict), the company operates with a small 1-10 person team anchored by founder Jack Myers. The platform aggregates curated articles, research reports, webinars, and a video interview series called Jack Myers Leadership Conversations.

The product surface centers on three monetization streams: (1) The Myers Report, a 35-year proprietary annual research franchise evaluating 80 media sales organizations across 10 attributes via surveys of 700-plus advertiser and agency executives, distributed as a paid subscription; (2) whitepaper and research report sales on a one-time basis; and (3) fee-based self-publishing packages that allow industry professionals to distribute thought leadership articles to the community. The company supplements these with sub-branded content channels including Audio InSites (audio/voice tech), Locality InSites (local TV advertising), and Meeting Prep AI (a web-based AI tool for brand manager training).

The business runs on a freemium-to-subscription model. Free registration provides baseline content access, while The Myers Report subscription and enterprise custom presentations carry undisclosed premium pricing. Distribution is omnichannel — owned mediavillage.com, Substack newsletter, daily and weekly email digests, YouTube videos, and organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook). The customer base consists of media sales organizations, agencies, advertisers, and brands, with a particularly notable enterprise constituency reflected in Leadership Conversation participants from IPG, NPR, Vevo, LUMA Partners, Cannes Lions, and similar organizations.
