About

---

VM3 Media is an independent media, communications and production company founded by JaVonni Brustow, bringing together more than a decade of work across digital publishing, entertainment, original programming, communications and cultural storytelling. At its core, VM3 Media was built around a simple idea: compelling people, stories and ideas deserve the right platform. Over the years, that philosophy has taken the company from digital publishing and entertainment journalism to video production, talent promotion, branded campaigns, event production and original programming.

Publishing & Entertainment

VM3 Media is the parent company of PopGlitz, the entertainment and pop culture publication founded in 2012. PopGlitz covers entertainment, music, celebrity culture and personalities while providing a platform for both established names and emerging talent. Its original content has included celebrity and personality interviews, artist spotlights, entertainment reporting, the Song of the Day music series, Eye Candy features, and promotional and advertising campaigns. Over the years, PopGlitz has grown beyond simply reporting entertainment news. Its work has become part of the larger entertainment conversation, with PopGlitz appearing on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Potomac and its reporting cited by outlets including Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, BET and Heavy.

Production & Original Programming

VM3 Media’s work extends beyond publishing into video, programming and live entertainment. The company’s production history includes involvement with Petersburg Solution, producing interviews and content highlighting businesses, personalities and issues affecting Petersburg, Virginia. VM3 Media founder JaVonni Brustow also worked with The Misty TV Firm, founded by recording artist and television personality Misty Blanco, formerly known as Mysterious from MTV’s Making the Band 2. That relationship expanded into television and event production, including work surrounding The Misty TV’s Blaque Okane Rockfest, a multi-state talent search and tour showcasing independent performers. Brustow also developed and hosted The Media Mogul News Hour, with programming distributed through The Misty TV Channel on Roku. Together, those projects expanded VM3 Media’s footprint from online publishing into original programming, talent development, live events and digital television distribution.

Communications & Creative Services

Communications has been part of VM3 Media’s foundation from the beginning. Throughout its history, the company has worked across brand management, public relations, social media marketing, promotional campaigns, copywriting, event planning, content development and show production. That combination of editorial and communications experience gives VM3 Media the ability to approach projects from multiple perspectives—understanding not only how content is created, but how a person, company or idea is positioned and ultimately presented to an audience.

JaVonni Brustow is a media entrepreneur, publisher, producer and communications professional whose career has crossed entertainment, digital media, business, public affairs and real estate. He founded PopGlitz in 2012 after years of writing for and helping manage digital entertainment publications, ultimately deciding to build an independent platform of his own. Through VM3 Media and its projects, Brustow has interviewed and covered entertainment personalities, promoted emerging artists, developed original programming, participated in television and event production, and created communications and digital campaigns.

Brustow’s professional experience eventually expanded well beyond entertainment. He has worked in government and public affairs, including work connected to municipal government and initiatives involving economic development and community engagement. His career has also included entrepreneurship, communications consulting and extensive experience in real estate and property management. While those industries may appear different, they have given Brustow a perspective that has become central to VM3 Media: every industry has stories, every organization has an audience and effective communication determines whether the two ever connect. That perspective continues to shape the company’s evolution.

Where Media, Culture & Communication Meet

Today, VM3 Media serves as the umbrella for Brustow’s media and creative ventures while providing room for new projects to develop across publishing, entertainment, production and communications. From introducing audiences to an emerging artist, interviewing personalities shaping culture and producing original programming to developing campaigns and telling stories rooted in real communities, VM3 Media has never been limited to a single format. The platforms have changed considerably since the company’s earliest work, but the purpose hasn’t: find the story worth telling, create the platform for it and make sure it reaches the people who should see it.
