Galore Media operates as a talent-driven media company with a focus on Gen Y and Z, particularly representing Gen Z Latinx and Afrolatin progressive culture. Founded in 2012 by Prince Chenoa, Jacob Dekat, and Mike Albanese, the company has established itself by celebrating beauty and femininity through an unconventional lens. Chenoa and Dekat, as gay men, felt a responsibility to create an inclusive and empowering platform for young women. The company’s portfolio includes the digital publication, Galore, and an intersectional feminism festival, Girl Cult.
The business generates revenue through multiple streams, including performance marketing, custom content creation for brands, and direct-to-consumer product collaborations. Galore has worked with major brands such as Samsung, Apple, and Estee Lauder on campaigns. Its core market consists of young, culturally-aware consumers interested in fashion, beauty, and pop culture. The company reaches approximately 15 million users monthly through its social channels by publishing around 500 pieces of social content. A significant milestone occurred in April 2024 when Galore Media was acquired by Group Black, a Black-owned media company. This acquisition aims to scale Galore's platform and enhance its event production and content curation capabilities. Following the acquisition, co-founders Mike Albanese and Prince Chenoa joined Group Black as Senior Vice President and Editor In Chief of Galore, respectively.
The company's primary service is its digital media brand, which highlights cultural trendsetters and artists like Zendaya and Bad Bunny. A key brand extension is the Girl Cult festival, launched in 2017 as a day of discussions, music, and empowerment, featuring artists like Willow Smith and keynote speakers such as Tyra Banks. This event was conceived as an inclusive space, likened to a "Lilith Fair for Generation Z," to address issues relevant to young women. Galore also operates an influencer platform, Kitten, to amplify its reach across social media platforms.
