As CEO of Wimberly Media Group, I’ve watched the media landscape accelerate faster than at any point in our lifetimes. The winners are no longer the loudest or the most famous—the winners are the most organized: the creators, teams, and brands that operate on systems, not impulses. My name is Dennis “DJ” Wimberly. This is our playbook for building durable, global media assets that can weather platform changes, economic cycles, and algorithm shocks.

From Turntables to Term Sheets

From turntables to term sheets I started with two turntables and a will to move the room. That apprenticeship taught me market research the hard way: if the crowd doesn’t move, you missed. Today I bring that same feedback loop to leadership—rapid iteration, ruthless listening, and precise curation. The DJ booth trained my instincts; the boardroom developed my systems.

Owner’s Mindset

Ownership, leverage, and asymmetric bets Artists create the spark; owners build the engine. We pursue ownership through IP, list assets, and long‑term partnerships. We like asymmetric bets—projects with capped downside and uncapped upside—backed by disciplined ops and diversified revenue streams.

Leadership Lessons That Scale

  • Curate relentlessly. Taste is a moat when platforms flood.
  • Design repeatable wins. One‑off heroics don’t scale.
  • Stay close to the audience. Proximity beats assumptions.
  • Protect the downside. Cash flow buys creative freedom.
  • Build leaders, not dependencies. Teams outlast talent.

Platform Strategy

We build platform‑agnostic IP: a signature show, a magnetic newsletter, a flagship event, and a training ” “product. These pillars stabilize distribution and monetize attention across algorithms and seasons.

Give First, Then Ask

Trust compounds. We over‑deliver value up front—education, access, and tools—so when we make an offer, the ” “market is eager to reciprocate. That service posture sits at the center of every WMG initiative.
