ENCOURAGING. EMPOWERING. ENTERTAINING.
- We strive to sincerely connect with our audience, creating content that focuses on their development and empowerment.
- Our aim is to ease the “bridges” of life–the transitions from high school to college, from college to the real world, from high school to the real world. These are critically defining moments, and media outlets have failed to cover them with courage. We’re going to change that.
- Iconic Youth’s focal point is Atlanta. We believe in taking care of our community–and that means minding what happens in our own backyards
- We cover local topics that directly pertain to your interests, and national and global news that intersect with your values
- Our innovation-obsessed culture is fused with a principled editorial system, which means that we always deliver trustworthy content
- Through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and podcasts, we display unique stories and perspectives about life, relationships, industry challenges and innovators shaping the future
- We provide you with the tools to explore your passions, interests, and society at large by featuring content from five sections: Life, Society, Business, Entertainment, and Thoughts.
