Mothership is a Singapore-born Internet media company. As of October 2019, we have one of the highest local penetration among all digital-only media platforms in Singapore. We attract more than 20 million page views a month from more than 4.5 million unique users (updated October 2019), with over two-thirds of our audience between the ages of 25 and 44. This means young Singaporeans with spending power, and who are key decision-makers in their households and communities. 75% of our readers are on mobile, and we connect with them by creating high-quality multimedia news and entertainment content that encourages social sharing.

While we couldn’t grab hold of every young Singaporean we saw, shake them hard and shout “YOU HAVE TO CARE ABOUT THE FATE AND DESTINY OF SINGAPORE!!!!!!!”, we could write commentaries and report on politics in Singapore in a way that spoke to them. One editor’s father asked in the early days of Mothership.sg, “Eh, you like that write about the government will go jail not?” That sort of scepticism mixed with fear was typical of our infancy. We approached several advertisers and they too held the same mix of scepticism and fear. “Too political” and “Not safe” were terms we heard often.

Think of a stuffy, hierarchical corporate culture where employees sit for long hours in cubicles counting down the hours doing soulless, repetitive, run-of-the-mill chores, fenced off from human warmth and personal connections. Now think of the exact opposite. That's Mothership. We strive to build and preserve a people-centered culture with a focus on personal development and professional growth for all our teammates.
