Seeker is an American digital media network and content publisher based in San Francisco, California. It was established in 2015 as an independent division of Discovery Communications known as Discovery Digital Networks.[3] Seeker produces online video and editorial content, with an emphasis on social platforms and YouTube.[2]
History
Seeker was launched in May 2016 in an effort by Discovery to reach millennial audiences looking to satisfy their curiosity by immersing themselves in science, technology and culture.[4]
In October 2016, Seeker was acquired by the newly founded Group Nine Media, along with Thrillist Media Group, NowThis News and The Dodo. This new media group earned a $100 Million investment from Discovery Communications, and is under the leadership of former Thrillist CEO Ben Lerer.[5]
