Since 1996, Digital Deliverance has been the consulting business website of Vin Crosbie, a pioneering thinker in new media whose work anticipated many of the structural changes that now define the digital age.
Best known in recent years for developing the concept of Individuated Media, Crosbie has spent decades analyzing how emerging technologies transform communication, commerce, and culture. Long before personalization, algorithmic feeds, and networked platforms became mainstream, he articulated how media would evolve beyond mass and interpersonal models into a new paradigm centered on the individual. This is one of many reasons why his 2002 seminal essay, What is New Media?, was chosen as the first article ever published in the premiere edition of the now ten-year-old International Journal of New Media Studies.
Crosbie’s works are grounded in rigorous analysis yet driven by a belief that media is fundamentally human. He consistently highlights the social consequences of technology: how systems shape behavior, how power is distributed, and how individuals gain or lose autonomy within digital networks. By connecting theory to lived reality, he has built a body of work that is both intellectually influential and practically actionable.
Through his writings, lectures, and advisory work on site, Crosbie has helped organizations understand not just digital tools, but the deeper systemic shifts underlying them. His teaching emphasizes first principles: how media ecosystems function, how economic incentives shape platforms, and how audiences behave when given agency and choice. Students and professionals alike value his ability to translate complex media theory into practical frameworks that can guide strategy and innovation.
As a consultant, Crosbie advises media corporations, national governments, universities, traditional institutions, and new media startups navigating digital transformation. His approach blends strategic foresight with operational clarity. Rather than chasing trends, he helps clients recognize long-term patterns and structural opportunities. This perspective has made him a trusted voice for leaders seeking to ‘future-proof’ their organizations in rapidly changing environments.
Crosbie specializes in helping organizations rethink strategy at the architectural level. Instead of focusing on short-term tactics or ‘platform’ trends, he guides leadership teams through deeper questions: how value is created in digital ecosystems, how audiences behave when empowered with choice, and how companies can design sustainable revenue structures in an environment of fragmentation and accelerating change. His frameworks enable organizations to identify opportunities competitors often miss.
Dividing his time between homes in Connecticut and in the Canary Islands, Crosbie continues to write academic and research papers, teach seminars and workshops, and consult with media clients on five continents, extending his exploration of how individuated media reshapes society. His career stands as a bridge between early digital theory and the ongoing evolution of networked life, making him one of the media field’s most enduring and forward-looking voices.
