About us
Roar Global is a media network that builds, operates and invests in distinct media brands that produce ground-breaking content and media solutions across the Asian region.
We do this with the aim of creating the future of media. The future of media is one that is disruptive, agile, and credible. It embraces diversity, creates a positive impact, and leaves its audience in a better place than where they were before. We advocate for a media that embraces this and we embody this in our own identity.
Our story
Roar began through a simple need, a need for great stories in Sri Lanka. Back in 2014, the majority of the country's online content was news, politics, and gossip. Sri Lanka’s incredibly rich history, culture, and tradition was indelibly hidden in the lives and lands of the people. No one had yet thought to go out, find these stories and share them with the world.
This is how Roar.lk came to be. A small collective of writers, journalists, and people who just shared a love for their country, started a platform to tell the kind of stories that weren't being told. We made it a driving principle to stick to a strong code of ethics - truth, accuracy, fairness, impartiality, accountability, and humanity. It may have been a swim against the current in the beginning, but it worked - Roar.lk became the pioneers of digital storytelling in Sri Lanka.
Since then, we have grown in leaps and bounds. In (add date), we expanded to Bangladesh, becoming the largest new media platform in the country. Today, our businesses span the region of South Asia, from India to Singapore. This aligns with our pursuit to become the leader in digital media, which shapes the future of media in the region.

When large, well established brands began seeking us out for our storytelling expertise, we realised that there was a need for high quality, brand-centric content told with the same passion that has always been our hallmark. In 2017, this led to the birth of Roar Studios, our fully owned content production house that makes creative, and innovative storytelling accessible for global brands. Staffed by a team of experienced creatives with diverse but complementary skills, Roar Studios has gone on to create highly engaging digital content that has drawn a lot of attention.
Our experience publishing content for years on Facebook also helped us understand the issues faced by local businesses in making the most out of their investment in digital advertising. This laid the foundation for Roar Digital, which in 2020 was appointed Meta’s Authorised Sales Partner in Sri Lanka, with the aim of helping businesses, both big and small, harness Meta’s entire family of applications and tools to grow.
