Brightest Young Things

Brightest Young Things, or BYT Media Inc., was an online magazine and event production and marketing agency based in Washington, D.C., and New York City. Founded in 2009 by Svetlana Legetic, a former Architecture Designer from Serbia, Brightest Young Things publishes original articles, interviews, guides and calendars pertaining to “food”, “style”, “music”, “art”, “theatre”, “film”, “gays”, and “weird” social events and trends in Washington, D.C., and, as of August 2012, New York City. The site regularly published up to 30 posts a day and published about 100 original articles a week, and was known for its cultural knowledge about Washington, D.C.'s trending restaurants, nightlife, and events, targeting young, 20-something “hipster” crowds in both Washington, D.C., and New York City. Brightest Young Things also put on multiple yearly events in both cities, such as the Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival in Washington, D.C., often collectively selling up to 30,000 tickets for these events.
