A 12-month plan for Chris & Jared to build NexiMedia into Canada's leading AI-powered creative agency.
NexiMedia sits at the crossroads of creative storytelling and AI. We amplify the work of filmmakers, producers, and cultural organizations — helping them reach bigger audiences and compete on the global stage.
Deep roots in film, theater, and Indigenous storytelling. Chris is the bridge between tech and the people who make the work.
Builder of NEXI's proprietary AI — NexiScore, multilingual content engines, and automated media workflows. The tech and business muscle.
NexiScore scans any digital presence and shows what's working, what's missing, and the quick fixes. A health check for your brand.
Take any content — film synopsis, press kit, festival site — and make it work in 10+ languages with culturally-aware AI translation.
Press kits, social calendars, pitch decks, grant apps — we automate the tedious stuff. Two weeks of work in two days.
Market analysis, competitive positioning, investor-ready materials. Help creative companies look as serious as they are.
Offer free digital health checks to production companies, festivals, and arts orgs Chris already knows. No strings — just value. These become case studies.

Global revenue streamKnown as the team that brings AI to arts & culture — to amplify, not replace.
Every client becomes a referral. Every event leads to three conversations. It compounds.
Every tool, workflow, and dataset we build is an asset we own with long-term value.
Conferences, universities, panels — raise profile and generate leads simultaneously.
Arts partnerships make us eligible for innovation grants at every level of government.
Helping underrepresented creators reach wider audiences. Work that matters.
Priority people to connect with to get the ball rolling. Organized by sector.
Key events where NexiMedia should show up — as attendees, sponsors, or speakers.
This plan is a living document. We'll adjust as we learn what works. The first month is all about quick wins and momentum.
