Reign told Deadline, “I’m excited to be partnering with Overture.
They have a reputation for creating professional content for a switched-on audience.
Donnovan Andrews, CEO of Overture, said, “We know, for example, the mobile usage rate by young African Americans is extremely high and Ensemble intends to create a platform for showcasing mindful and considerate content developed by and for African Americans.”
