Jocobe, a veteran-owned and family-run multimedia marketing company based just outside of Savannah, Georgia, is working to make its mark in the family entertainment industry with its creative content and aspirational vision. Co-Creator Spencer J. Barnes envisions Jocobe not just as a business but as a potential cultural movement that could offer an alternative to industry giants like Disney. With a multi-faceted approach, Jocobe is beginning to gain recognition for its high-quality, cutting-edge entertainment that appeals to audiences of all ages.
Founded with the mission of creating family-friendly content that is both educational and entertaining, Jocobe aims to offer something distinct from what is typically seen in today’s entertainment landscape. Barnes, a visionary with decades of analysis under his belt, seeks to fill a gap in the industry left by traditional family entertainment brands. As Barnes states, “We want to be the Pepsi to their RC. We’re not trying to imitate—we’re focused on building our own legacy.”
Jocobe’s expansion is already underway, with the launch of several key initiatives that are attracting attention. The “Were Horrible People” podcast, set to debut on Spotify, is one of the most anticipated projects in the company’s pipeline. This podcast aims to explore both lighthearted and thought-provoking topics, offering a fresh perspective on common themes in modern society. As Barnes puts it, “We’re tackling the complexities of the human experience with humor and authenticity. It’s about engaging with our audience in a way that feels real and accessible.”
Additionally, the “Neighborhood Chef” blog and “The MisAdventures of the Hideous Pigg” digital storybook (DSB) segments are available on the innovative platform You42.com. These digital projects focus on culinary storytelling and interactive, family-friendly content, offering a mix of entertainment and education that appeals to a broad audience. Jocobe’s digital storybook segments are particularly designed to engage young viewers, using imaginative storytelling to teach lessons about creativity, responsibility, and kindness.
However, Jocobe is more than just an entertainment company—it’s a statement of intent. Barnes sees Jocobe as a diverse and ever-expanding brand that aims to bridge cultural gaps and promote peace through creative storytelling. His approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the synchronicities between cultures and time periods, making Jocobe’s content an exciting fusion of global influences. “This isn’t just entertainment—it’s about building a universal language that can speak to everyone, regardless of background. It’s my way of sharing peace, light, and love with the world,” says Barnes.
What sets Jocobe apart from its competition, especially industry giants like Disney, is the brand’s commitment to diversification and innovation. Instead of sticking to a single format or genre, Jocobe thrives on a wide range of content, all united by a core philosophy of educational entertainment for families. Barnes is particularly focused on delivering “epic” experiences in everything from food to storytelling. “The restaurants will be epic, and the food? Classic,” he envisions. “Your taste buds won’t know what hit ‘em.”
Looking ahead, Jocobe is hopeful for what Barnes calls a “leapfrog year” in 2025, where the brand could see significant growth and expansion of its intellectual property (IP). With the company’s bold ambitions, coupled with its innovative projects and passionate leadership, Jocobe is on a path that could lead to a greater presence in the family entertainment industry.
For those eager to experience the beginnings of Jocobe’s creative evolution, there are already plenty of clues sprinkled across the company’s social media platforms, giving fans a sneak peek into what’s to come. Barnes encourages fans to engage with Jocobe’s social media, as hidden gems and hints about future projects are often shared, sparking curiosity and excitement within their growing community.
