“Nadine’s demonstrated success will be instrumental in advancing Blink49’s unscripted strategy forward,” said Long. “I have no doubt that she will dedicate her efforts to delivering best-in-class content, collaborating with top-tier talent and ensuring high-quality storytelling.”

“It’s been a dream of mine to work with Tara and build something new together,” added Rajabi. “I’m beyond thrilled to join this incredible female-led team, where meaningful storytelling and integrity are at the core of everything we do. We’ve already hit the ground running with an exciting docuseries with a major streamer, and I can’t wait to continue crafting impactful content in this diverse and dynamic environment.”
