In 2016, Rich Antoniello oversaw the acquisition of Complex Media by Verizon and Hearst to become Complex Networks. The joint venture, led by Antoniello, develops and distributes original programming for its channels – Complex, First We Feast, Pigeons and Planes and Sole Collector – and through output deals with distributors including Netflix, Facebook, Fuse, MSG, Verizon and more. The company cultivates content that spans across popular culture and reaches the coveted 18-24-year-old male audience, from music to movies, sports to video games and fashion to food.
