Bryan Chen, Founder of Second Gen Media
— Founder

I grew up between
two worlds.

  • Beauty · Fintech · Consumer · Asian Market

Second Gen Media exists to help Asian brands navigate the creative and cultural gap between Asia and the American consumer market — the gap I've been navigating my entire life.

I built my marketing instincts inside Charles Schwab, leading consumer campaigns across personal finance and institutional products. I built my creative instincts as an operator on the other side of the brief — partnering on 100+ brand collaborations across beauty, consumer apps, Asian CPG, and creator economy brands.

Second Gen Media is where those two worlds converge — a studio that speaks brand and creator fluently, understands American consumer psychology, and brings genuine cultural intelligence to every engagement.
