As the most engaged Filipino platform on Facebook in the US, One Down is filling a critical gap in mainstream media by reaching out to the Filipino and Southeast-Asian diaspora. Through its nuanced, data-driven approach to narrative storytelling and representation, One Down has crafted viral stories and video concepts that champion the experiences of Filipinos.
Established in 2018, One Down engages viewers at more than 80x the rate of most Filipino-American and Asian-American publishers within the same space. More importantly, One Down and its avid viewers are breaking the boundaries in how media represents Filipinos and Asian-Americans, who are consistently underrepresented in mainstream outlets. For example, Breaking The Tabo has surpassed 8M organic views on Facebook and its “Filipinos in Entertainment” episode has reached over 6M organic views.
