Founder - JianHao Tan

Jianhao Tan is the Chief Executive Officer and the founder of Titan Digital Media.[5][6] He first registered the company under the name 'The JianHao Tan Co.' in July 2014. At the time, he only had three employees.[7] In 2016, Jianhao was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list for his contributions in media, marketing and advertising.[8] Jianhao later changed the company’s name to 'Titan Digital Media Pte Ltd' in 2018.[9]

Titan Digital Media produces branded content across its YouTube and Instagram platforms. As of 2020, the Jianhao Tan channel is Titan Digital Media’s main content platform with a viewership of over 4 million. In 2017, Marketing Interactive reported that Jianhao charged about $25,000 for a YouTube video, $1,200 for an Instagram post and $3,000 for an Instagram video on his personal platforms.[10] In 2020, Channel News Asia reported that he charged “about S$50,000 for a video on YouTube” - doubling his rate within three years.[11]

YouTube channels

Although Jianhao Tan’s YouTube channel dates back to 2010,[14][15] he only considered YouTube as a career option later on. Speaking to Marketing Interactive in 2017, Jianhao shared that he “started making videos more regularly in 2014”.[16] After JianHao Tan Co. was renamed Titan Digital Media in 2018, the company expanded aggressively with the creation of five subsidiary YouTube channels within slightly more than a year.
