Run-A-Muck

Run-A-Muck Media is a creator-led, multi-platform media company co-founded in 2025 by CEO Pamela Drucker Mann (former Condé Nast President & CRO), Chief Creative Officer Ilene Chaiken (creator of The L Word), and Strategic Advisor Jennifer Beals (The L Word, Flashdance). The company transforms bold, culturally disruptive storytelling into monetized franchises across streaming, audio, social, live events, short-form fiction, and consumer products, with a particular focus on queer-centered narratives and women's sports. Run-A-Muck operates the 'Drafting' Substack as an IP pipeline, has launched REIGN (a dedicated women's sports division), and raised a $10 million seed round in June 2026 led by Atreides Management at an $80 million combined valuation.
