Director, Advertising & Content Partnerships

The Entertainment Industry’s bone chilling reality: The stuff people want, the stuff that attracts the herds, the stuff that influences the most, is the stuff the industry doesn’t do well. The rapidly expanding universe of Creators is challenging the very definition of entertainment, and in doing so, forcing the incumbents to change or die. The internet created this new world order of entertainment. And the industry has relentlessly tried to ignore or buck this trend. But this isn’t a trend. It IS modern entertainment.

We, Made In Network, are a studio and publishing house, building some of the biggest channels on the internet with the most influential voices across culture. Our business was born from the rise of the creator, focused on helping humans build audiences around ideas they had that we liked.

Fast forward to today, we produce and operate some of the biggest creator-led channels (think Babish Culinary Universe) on the internet, while investing in new talent with high potential for audiences at scale. We currently operate 20+ media brands. With over 150M fans. Generating over 450M monthly video views. We think we’re on to something. We’re growing and we need to expand our advertising and partnerships team.
