Dazed Media is a pioneering independent media group founded in London in 1991 by publisher Jefferson Hack and photographer Rankin Waddell. Known for redefining youth culture, the company operates brands across editorial (e.g. Dazed, AnOther, Another Man) and creative media (Dazed Beauty, NOWNESS) and runs Dazed Studio, an agency-focused creative division. With around 51–200 employees, it maintains a global presence via offices in London, New York, Dubai, Seoul, and more.

As an employer, Dazed Media attracts creative professionals across editorial, video, design, strategy, events, product, tech, and business operations. The company emphasizes mission-driven storytelling, cultural authenticity, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Staff report a fast-paced, highly creative environment with early exposure to high-profile clients and editorial campaigns. The culture blends strong creative drive with inclusivity, though compensation levels are often viewed as modest relative to mainstream agencies
