Chosen Brand Values:

• Authenticity: We speak honestly, we’re straightforward and real. Our marketing should never sound market-y. We don’t make promises we can’t keep or cut corners that sacrifice our vision. If a problem arises, we own up to it quickly and truthfully. We stay true to who we are, even if it means losing viewers in the process.

• Intimate: we engage with our audience in a one-on-one conversation. Picture a person in your mind – they're sitting across from you, sinking into a comfy leather chair. All you're doing is having a conversation (even in headlines) with this one person. We speak directly and personally.

• Disruptive: we are not bound by tradition; we are telling an old story in a new way. From our content and storytelling to our approach to fundraising and free streaming, The Chosen drips disruptiveness. We are forward-thinking - if there's a new way to do something, we'll give it a shot. Contrarian, but kind. We always keep one foot outside of our comfort zones and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo.

• Playful: Sometimes you gotta stir up the water. “Playful” means that we don’t take ourselves too seriously. The Chosen tells the story of Jesus and His disciples the way they were – human, with all of the quirks and personality that comes with it. Our humor is witty and relatable with just the right amount of snark. We are cheeky and warm, not vulgar or disrespectful.
