From dating book to media concept exploring how one author's world could expand into events, content, and a future docu-series.
From dating book to media concept exploring how one author's world could expand into events, content, and a future docu-series.
Maiana Rose is an artist, author, and creative producer who wrote a book about dating with honesty and self-worth. The stories resonated immediately, but a book alone was never going to reach the audience this idea deserved. Dating is global but emotionally disconnected. Media sells fantasy, not reality. Maiana wanted to bridge that gap through conversation and local experiences, uncovering what dating actually means across cultures.
A personality-driven book about dating culture that grew into live events, brand partnerships, and a global docu-series concept.

Dating, culture, self-worth, and human connection
Every step opened a new door. From a dating book to a global media platform.
Positioned as a bold, personality-driven guide to dating with authenticity and self-worth. Not advice columns. Real stories, real chemistry, real culture.
Revenue model: direct sales, bulk orders, event sales.
Built early momentum through outreach, audience engagement, and a clear brand identity that attracted lifestyle sponsors before publication.
Revenue model: pre-orders, early audience building.
Launched a book tour across cities that drew audiences and press. The NYC launch brought together sponsors from fashion, lifestyle, and wellness. A billboard in Times Square followed.
Revenue model: ticket sales, sponsorships, brand activations.
Secured collaborations with Curious Elixirs, Solo, UNOde50, Neuhaus, and The Bibliotheque. Each partner aligned naturally with the book's audience and message.
Revenue model: sponsorships, co-branded events, product integration.
The project is expanding into Single AF The Series, a global docu-series exploring dating culture across cities and countries. In partnership with Publishizer and Mint Mantis.
Revenue model: media licensing, streaming, content partnerships.
People are tired of filters. They want real stories about real connection. That is what this project gives them.
What started as a dating book is now a growing media brand with live events, international sponsors, and a docu-series in development.
