“It’s inspiring to see a team of veterans, military spouses, and first responders produce positive and engaging content for the military community,” said Recurrent CEO, Lance Johnson. “We’re thrilled to be a part of helping them grow. The company’s digital focus complements our other brands and will afford more opportunities for veterans and military reporters to work alongside each other. WATM’s unique approach to partnerships will uplevel various aspects of our business, specifically custom content production for our partners and audiences.”
Harper said, “Since the day We Are The Mighty was founded, our singular goal has been to celebrate service by inspiring, educating, informing, and entertaining our audience. Seven years later, we’ve grown immensely and continue to create positive digital content and events for the military community. We’re honored to join such brands as Task & Purpose, MilSpouseFest, and The War Zone to collectively better serve our audiences.”
