Intent Media Group builds purpose-built social media communities for specific interest verticals. Instead of one platform trying to serve everyone, we create focused ecosystems where enthusiasts, creators, brands, and industry professionals thrive together with stable rules and real monetization. ### What communities does IMG operate? We currently operate GunClub.social (firearms and 2A community), Seed.social (cannabis culture and industry), and Sip and Smoke (cigar and spirits lifestyle). Each community has its own branded app and identity. ### Why vertical social media instead of general platforms? General platforms struggle to serve niche communities well. Content policies change unpredictably, algorithms don't understand niche content, and monetization is generic. Vertical communities offer stable rules, relevant discovery, and monetization models designed for each industry. ### What technology powers IMG communities? All communities run on CC Social (Closed Circuit Platform) — a white-labeled social media platform with video streaming, content feeds, creator monetization, real-time messaging, and community moderation tools. Each community gets its own branded experience. ### How can brands partner with IMG communities? Brands can reach highly engaged, interest-specific audiences through sponsored content, community partnerships, and integrated advertising.
