Martha Woods Group

Martha Woods Entertainment is an ATBW Blog company founded on July 13, 2020 by Martha Woods and has founded Martha Productions as its division and has acquired both Achelle Productions and Seychelle Productions on July 14, 2020, the latter being a former subsidiary of CCTV Productions from February 16, 2019 until the acquisition date. Both her daughters Seychelle Woods and Achelle Woods have since joined MWE and are now running for the company's board of directors.

Early History
Since the premier of Hanging With Seychelle on CCTV Network at the time, Martha Woods had been in the talks with her two daughters about forming a company that will unite all three of them to work together in the media industry, and even before fame, Seychelle had already been running her own company since December 26, 2017 on ATBW Blog, however it was only locally known at the time, even when it was acquired by CCTV Productions.

The company was founded successfully on July 13, 2020, which launched Martha Productions as a production arm and acquired Achelle Productions. Martha Woods, her older daughter and Kirti Mang all knew each other personally and the latter agreed to sell Seychelle Productions to the new company but would continue to air on CCTV Network until the launch of Martha Woods Network later on.

After Martha Woods met Lisa Vasquez sometime in August 2020 they both launched Vasquez Productions where the latter would have control of.

The board of directors also hired other members to lead the company; Emily Jerkins was hired to be the CEO, Angelia Simpson was hired to be the COO, Jordyn Hasley was hired to be the CFO, Regina Avina was hired to be the CAO, Della Froebrich was hired to be the CMO, Mina Chusk was hired to be the CTO, and Angela Pittman was hired to be the CIO. The CEO is the highest position of MWE, being in charge of the CFO, CAO, CMO, CTO, and CIO, but was still subject to supervision by the Board of Directors, which include Martha Woods as the Chairwoman, her two daughters are both Vice Chairwomen, Mira Calbero was hired as SVP, and Lisa Vasquez was hired as President. Despite this however, the CEO still has significant control and ownership of the company, but while also being supervised by the BOD.

Success And Rise
On November 15, 2020, Martha Woods Entertainment became a mini-major company from a minor company and it is ranked in the same category as the 11 ATBW Blog companies owned by ATBW Blog, which are Merrill Studios, Signature Studios, Rose Gold Studios, Wedgehead Studios, Elephant Studios, Pagoda Studios, Watercolor Studios, Calligraphy Studios, Ramworks Software, CCTV Productions, and Lancerware. It debuted Martha Woods Animated on November 17, 2020 and launched Martha Woods Network three days later on November 20, 2020 exclusively on the ATBW Viewer.

On December 13, 2020, MWE purchased a former Zippy Land Essentials store that closed in 2003. It opened on January 27, 2021. It is the main hosting site for Dance Legends. Strict security measures including a VPN and Antivirus hardware throughout the building were mandated by MWE upon opening due to the Caltrose25V5 trojan attack in April of 2020. It became a major ATBW Blog company on February 11, 2021 and now serves as one of the biggest independent ATBW Blog company after CCTV Productions. Katie Loveland was appointed to be the headmaster/magistrate of Martha Woods Studio on February 13, 2021, who manages all actors and actresses hired to work at the dance studio for Dance Legends, which premiered on MWN on February 20, 2021.

Continuous Rise
On April 13, 2021, the company acquired Aamer Magazine, Siegel Magazine, Lovewatch, and Quaeso News, and both Shiha Aamer and Julia Siegel joined the company to work to expand the company's presence across ATBW Blog and even social media.

On July 8, 2021, a community on MWE's PBLOG site entered PBLOG history as being the first community on any PBLOG site to officially set its moderator age to 21 years old, which effectively beat a previous record at 19 years old in 2012. This came after MWE Personality Lexie Ramirez set her community's moderation age to 21 years old after explaining that she felt like setting it because she thought that 18 was not old enough for a person to become a moderator on PBLOG.

MWS 2021 COVID-19 Outbreak
On December 13, 2021, 14 MWE personalities and two security guards contracted Omicron COVID-19 during a broadcast of an episode of Dance Legends after an audience member allegedly hid their diagnosis, which eventually jumped to 210 recorded cases by December 19, 2021 including almost all MWE personalities as well as some staff members though most of them only had mild symptoms, resulting in the show being postponed to January 16, 2022 before being postponed again to March 20, 2022 and a lockdown being imposed at Martha Woods Studio.

However, just as the campus was placed on lockdown, Clemma Rhodes was sent to the hospital with ARDS and other complications from COVID-19 and was placed in the ICU, while four others including Lemedia Rhohera were also sent to the hospital with breathing problems but Rhodes was the only one actually placed in the ICU. Katie Loveland also contracted COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated, but only had mild symptoms.

On January 8, 2022, Loveland revealed that her oldest son Terri Jr. (15), also contracted the virus with severe illness.

Controversy
Since the start of Dance Legends on February 20, 2021, the company had been criticized for its intense policing strategy in the building's parking lot, and the company CEO Emily Jerkins and MWS head Katie Loveland have both been criticized for arbitrarily arresting, escorting, and even banning audience participants from the studio for possession of rather mundane items such as hand sanitizer, bars of soap, phone chargers, and even Bluetooth speakers.

In addition, Jerkins also banned possession of cell phones inside the studio because she thought that people would be distracted by not watching performances, and food and drinks are also banned in the studio because she stated that people are disgusting and unsanitary, the latter of these were also agreed upon by Loveland. Both Jerkins and Loveland have also banned all social media apps except for TikTok in the studio because they did not conform to the nature of the studio, which was frowned upon by audience members, MWE personalities, and even company employees.

Furthermore, Loveland and Jerkins both carry security handcuffs and two-way radios while present in the building, just as security officers, admins, and security guards do. The latter of the two does not enter the building often. Furthermore, the headmaster of the Martha Woods Studio has security powers just as security guards and admins do, while also hosting Dance Legends.
