The goal of Mileage Media is to digitally and physically connect creative, passionate individuals who live, work and travel between NY & LA, NY & SF or NY & London. We feature select events, people, and companies from each city who may be off the mainstream radar but are doing amazing work and creating powerful impact.
Mileage(media) was birthed by 2 friends and clients, Joe Magee and Erica Berger, who originally met at the UN Social Innovation Conference back in 2011. In July 2012, the inaugural newsletter 2462 Miles attempting to better connect NY and LA launched. 6 months later, a friend of Erica’s, CBM, asked to launch 3460 Miles, connecting NY and London as she had moved and wanted to help bridge the Atlantic. And finally, after meeting Connie in a coffee shop in Brooklyn through mutual friends, 2905 Miles connecting SF and NYC rounded us out with a third and wonderful community. Since late 2014, London has been curated by Zainab, after being brought on by CBM as an intern.
Join us on our adventure to make your lives more fun and to help your businesses blossom from intelligent and creative collaboration.
Let us be extraordinary together.
