Valhalla Media Company: Bringing Viking History to Life
Valhalla Media Company is a pioneering force in the preservation and dissemination of Viking Age history and Norse saga traditions. With offices in both the United States and Norway, Valhalla Media brings together decades of experience in publishing, preservation, and cultural entrepreneurship to engage global audiences with the rich heritage of the Viking world.
Our mission is to offer modern, immersive experiences that bridge the gap between the 12th-century saga tradition and contemporary sensibilities. From lavish, high-end book projects to smaller, intimate publications, we focus on delivering products that captivate and educate. Our portfolio includes VR experiences, international expeditions, multimedia projects, and specialized book series.
Valhalla Media is co-founded by Baard Titlestad, a cultural entrepreneur and Vice-Chairman of the Saga Heritage Foundation, along with John Bednarski as Chief Operating Officer and Michael Schneider as Chief Financial Officer. Together, we are passionate about making Viking history accessible and exciting for modern audiences, whether through physical or digital experiences.
Rooted in a deep respect for saga heritage, Valhalla Media is dedicated to preserving the past while inspiring future generations with the captivating stories of the Viking Age.
