About Eyes & Ears Media:

Meet Ra Davis, part of the recent wave of young entrepreneurs and innovtors who have chosen to set up shop in Bergen County. At just 24 years old, Davis created Eyes & Ears Media after a short-lived writing gig for an online lifestyle magazine. His experience there allowed him to discover new passions and talents that inspired him to start his own media company producing quality video content.

“Bergen County can't be ignored,” explained Davis when asked why he opted to start a media company in Bergen County. “In addition to the slower pace, I find that Bergen County has just as much to offer (as New York City). There is no shortage of talent or interesting stories to cover in Bergen County.”

Davis warns anyone thinking of starting a new business that they will need a lot of patience and persistence. “I send out 30+ pitches daily via email to potential interview subjects and other individuals who can contribute towards a specific video segment. My reply rate is extremely low, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.”

“Media is a crowded place,” Davis continued. “Nowadays you can find companies that aren't even media-related producing video content because it’s trendy.”

Davis takes a more journalistic approach to creating engaging video content. ”There is “a why” to everything and I always try to read between the lines of situations. That type of thinking fuels my passion for creating relevant content that reflects our world.”

Davis’s last words of advice for other entrepreneurs: “You have to be able to withstand both self-doubt and outside uncertainty. Know that you aren't the only one in the world that faces doubt. Set goals. Don't worry about what others think because, at the end of the day, they aren't walking in your shoes.”
