"I've always been drawn to the intersection of culture, content, and commerce—and Rockbot sits right at that crossroads," said Tyler Lenane. "From the basement shows of my punk rock youth to launching global music platforms with Apple and Beats, I've seen firsthand how powerful content can be when it meets people where they are. At Rockbot, we're doing just that—in retail stores, airports, gyms, salons, and bars across the country. I'm psyched to build the future of content experiences that actually matter to real-world audiences."

With Rockbot's rapidly expanding media footprint and Tyler's unique background blending creativity, legal strategy, and community development, Rockbot is doubling down on its mission to revolutionize in-location media—delivering smarter, more personalized, and culturally resonant content that empowers businesses to turn every screen and speaker into an opportunity to captivate and connect.
