We produce several hours of original content weekly with messages of compassion, kindness, and altruism that resonate with viewers of all ages. Our founding principle is simple but ambitious: We’re not just telling stories. We’re changing lives.

Launched in Fall 2025, Dhar Mann Studios’ Brand Partnerships division has seen an explosive rise, executing industry-shaping work for The NFL, Adobe, Netflix, and GAP. From managing a billion-person reach for Adobe to breaking engagement records for the NFL, we have established ourselves as the premier destination for high-impact storytelling.

BIG PICTURE:

Dhar Mann Studios is seeking a Head of Branded Integrations to build and scale a new revenue division connecting world-class brands with one of the largest scripted digital audiences in the world. Dhar Mann Studio has proven it can attract major brands now we need to scale and systematize. This is a ground-floor leadership role for a hands-on business builder who can take an early-stage branded integrations business and grow it into a tens-of-millions-of-dollars annual revenue engine.

The ideal candidate has deep senior-level relationships with brands, CMOs, agencies, and strategic partners; a proven track record closing seven figure partnerships; strong commercial instincts; and the operating discipline to build the systems, tools, products, pricing, workflows, and team required to make this business repeatable and scalable.
