                Alex Zeevalkink
Co-founder, Editor-in-Chief & Marketer
Alex untangles ideas, finds the hidden connections, and makes sense of the noise – part editor, part marketer, part professional thread-puller. After years in digital publishing and brand building, Alex decided to make media that doesn’t just report the story, it starts one. At The Subthread, Alex hunts for the stories at the intersection of creativity, culture, and technology – the ones that make you stop scrolling and start thinking about what tomorrow looks like and how you can play a part.
When not shaping the editorial vision, Alex is plotting ways to grow the brand, spark debate, and prove that smart media can also be fun.

                Rich Hewes
Co-founder, Writer & Head of Studio
Rich turns ideas into experiences you can see, hear, and feel. A community-builder first and a multimedia maestro second, he’s produced events that became the benchmarks of the broadcast industry and cultivated tribes of curious, creative people who actually show up. After running a studio at Digital Frontier, Rich started The Subthread with Alex in a mission to make media that grabs attention and refuses to let go. Here, he animates stories across video, audio, and visuals – the kind that make you lean in, pause, and pay attention. Outside production, he’s connecting people, sparking ideas, and making media a little more human along the way.
