He created interactive television shows at Fuse TV, developed the first broadband video platform for Viacom, and built a lifestyle brand at Heavy. At MTV, Graham managed product development for the company’s digital properties that attracted 20 million monthly unique users, and he supervised tent-pole events like the VMAs, Movie Awards and more. Graham’s beginnings focused on building digital properties from the ground up for Sprint, XM Satellite Radio, Warner Brothers, Nike and more.
