Griff O'Brien
Cheif Executive Officer and Co-Founder
Estate Media
Griff O'Brien is CEO of Estate Media, a new destination for the real estate industry and its fans. O'Brien co-founded the company with Million Dollar Listing LA star and real estate entrepreneur Josh Flagg and Carolwood Equities co-founder Andrew Shanfeld. The company brings together established and emerging talent with a combined audience of more than 25 million followers to develop original IP and branded content across social and traditional platforms.
O'Brien has been a step ahead in the shift from traditional to digital media since he was in high-school, helping some of the biggest media companies in the world adapt to digital and streaming, and has created two seven figure digital media businesses, all in his 20’s.
O'Brien helped Starz develop their streaming strategy at 18, authoring a proposal on Starz’ OTT service which was read, and implemented, by Starz’ CEO. During his first internship, he identified a gap in the market which led him to create a digital media business that helped match consumers with streaming alternatives at 19, which he sold two years later. He took that experience to become one of the youngest strategy and business development execs out of college at Snap, Roku, Amazon Prime Video and Pocket.watch.
O'Brien has talked repeatedly over the past few years that the future of digital media would be built around highly-engaged, and monetizable niches. He took this thesis to the real-estate industry, and partnered with one of the biggest celebrities in the industry in Million Dollar Listing’s Josh Flagg to create the world’s first personality-driven real estate media company.
