CINEMATIC STORYTELLING

With offices at the CBS Television City lot, NuMedia Studios & Management is
a premiere management agency representing a diverse range of creative talent across the entertainment industry. In collaboration with NuMedia Law, we also provide integrated legal guidance to support our management clients.
NuMedia delivers targeted initiatives for media companies and brands, aligning creative execution with specific marketing objectives. By producing premium online video paired with social interactivity, the company reaches defined audience segments through major distribution platforms such as Facebook and Google AdSense, as well as other scaled networks.
While remaining active in production, NuMedia has strategically expanded its focus to include management, reflecting evolving opportunities across the current production landscape.
Notably, NuMedia produced Heckle U,
a successful series created in collaboration with Procter & Gamble and in partnership with CBS Digital.
NuMedia was founded by Michael Kernan, former Co-Head of Digital Media at International Creative Management (ICM), prior to its acquisition by Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
In this role, he oversaw licensing and strategic deal-making across the technology, Internet, and mobile sectors, supporting the agency’s New York, London, and Los Angeles offices.
In 2008, Michael launched NuMedia Studios & Management alongside his former client from ICM, Huntley Ritter. As co-heads, Ritter leads the creative direction while Michael oversees business strategy and dealmaking. Ritter is one of the most highly regarded television creators and producers.
Together, Kernan and Ritter have built NuMedia into a premiere digital media company, connecting top-tier talent—including writers, directors, actors, comedians, content creators, and media companies—with advertisers to develop social, interactive content for digital platforms and multi-platform television.
