DNA Inc. specializes in crafting next level digital experiences in the Media, Streaming, Sports, and Automotive industries—delivering seamlessly across mobile, web, smart TV, set-top boxes, in-car systems, wearables, and smart speakers.
The company’s expert team collaborates closely with in-house teams and stakeholders, bridging skill gaps and adding firepower where needed. Founded by three BAMTECH veterans who played a major role in launching Disney+ and ESPN+, DNA Inc. embeds design and engineering talent directly into client teams.
By prioritizing user experience and platform-native features, DNA is able to quickly adapt fan/consumer demands as streaming options continue to expand and fragment.
