NEXT ERA MEDIA
Originally from Los Angeles, California, Gabriel Antonio is a marketing strategist, creative entrepreneur, and media founder with over 15 years of experience building brands through storytelling, social media, and culture-driven marketing.
As the founder of Next Era Media, Gabriel has successfully developed and scaled multiple digital brands from the ground up, including Wags to Riches, a rapidly growing parenting and lifestyle platform built around real-life connection and community, and Caribbean Next Era, a travel and lifestyle media brand showcasing modern Caribbean experiences through authentic storytelling and visual content.
With over two decades in the music industry as a songwriter, recording artist, and performer, Gabriel brings a unique artist-first perspective to marketing.

Turning Everyday Parenting Moments Into Meaningful Stories.
Wags to Riches was created as a reminder that behind every parent is a story rarely told out loud — the quiet sacrifices, long days, moments of doubt, and the overwhelming love that makes it all worth it. What began as a space for heartfelt reflections quickly grew into a community where moms, dads, and parents from all walks of life could feel seen, understood, and less alone.
The page speaks to the real experience of parenting — the beautiful, imperfect journey of raising children while still learning and growing yourself. Through relatable stories, gentle reminders, and meaningful words, Wags to Riches creates moments of pause in a fast-moving world, encouraging parents to reflect, heal, and reconnect with what matters most.
Our first digital eBook, “Letters Every Parent Needs To Read,” will be released in March 2026 for $7 and will be sold directly through our Instagram page. This collection of heartfelt letters is written to comfort, encourage, and remind parents that even on the hardest days, their love is shaping a lifetime.

Timeless music for moments that matter most.
We’re excited to introduce the first release in our Wags to Riches playlist series, Songs That Feel Like Home. Inspired by the warmth of late-night radio and the music many of us grew up with, this collection brings together timeless classics and beautiful oldies that can be played around your children and shared across generations. These are the songs that remind us to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the small moments that turn into lifelong memories.
Created for parents, families, and anyone who finds comfort in music that never goes out of style, Songs That Feel Like Home is a warm trip down memory lane filled with love, nostalgia, and melodies that still feel like home.
The playlist is now streaming on Spotify. Press play, and let the memories begin.
Where Caribbean luxury, culture, and nightlife meet.
Caribbean Next Era was created to showcase the modern Caribbean through a new lens — one that blends luxury, culture, nightlife, and natural beauty into a single experience. More than a travel page, it is a visual escape designed to inspire people to explore, celebrate life, and reconnect with the feeling of freedom that only the islands can offer.
Through curated destinations, vibrant nightlife moments, hidden gems, and breathtaking coastal views, Caribbean Next Era highlights both the energy and serenity of the region. The platform celebrates the evolving Caribbean — where world-class hospitality meets authentic culture, and where every sunset, beach, and city carries its own story. Whether it’s a quiet morning overlooking turquoise water or a late night in one of the Caribbean’s most iconic venues, the goal is to make viewers feel like they are already there.
Caribbean Next Era connects with travelers, dreamers, and creators who seek experiences rather than just destinations. It invites its audience to discover new places, revisit favorite islands, and see the Caribbean not only as a vacation, but as a lifestyle defined by warmth, movement, and unforgettable moments.

As Executive Producer of Humble Baddies, Gabriel Antonio played a key role in the podcast’s development, creative direction, and overall production from concept to launch. Filmed in Miami, the show quickly gained momentum through strong branding, strategic marketing, and consistent content execution, organically growing to over 20,000 subscribers across platforms.
Under Gabriel’s leadership, Humble Baddies secured a partnership with NFL Legend Shannon Sharpe’s global media network, Shay Shay Media — a milestone that reflected both the strength of the show’s identity and its commercial potential. Gabriel was instrumental in guiding the project through its growth phase, overseeing talent coordination, production strategy, marketing direction, and overall brand positioning that ultimately led to the signing.
While Humble Baddies concluded in 2025, the experience helped shape the next phase of growth for Next Era Media and The Anchored Agency, which is now expanding into the development and production of original podcasts and digital media projects.

Building Brands Designed for Camera, Culture, and Global Audiences.
Selling Tampa, the Netflix reality series from the creators of Selling Sunset, introduced audiences to a new generation of luxury real estate and entrepreneurship through the story of Allure Realty. Behind the scenes, Gabriel played a key creative and operational role in helping bring the vision of the series to life, working closely alongside Done and Done Productions and Netflix throughout the filming process. From transforming the Allure Realty office into a production-ready environment to supporting on-set operations, coordinating logistics, and assisting with cast and production needs, his work helped bridge the gap between real estate, branding, and entertainment.
Filmed during the challenges of a global pandemic, the production became a defining moment that demonstrated the power of storytelling, resilience, and collaboration. The experience solidified Gabriel’s reputation for understanding how environments, talent, and visual identity come together on screen, shaping narratives that resonate far beyond television. Being part of a globally streamed series remains a milestone that continues to influence his work today across media, branding, and creative direction.
Today, Gabriel and his team work with real estate brands, talent, and production teams looking to elevate their presence within entertainment and digital media. Whether preparing a brand for television, refining visual identity, or developing production-ready spaces, the focus remains the same — creating experiences that are visually compelling, culturally relevant, and built to stand out.
