Senior Creative Jobs

Look, here’s the deal. The internet created a new world order for the media. A wave of DIY dissenters that challenged the very definition of entertainment. A bunch of accidental media empires. You know, people at home with cameras and laptops. In the early days, the old guard moved too slow and now they’re sinking like dinosaurs in tar pits. We’re quick and agile. New media mammals. The next stage in the entertainment evolution. For 10 years, independent creators have outpaced and outgrown traditional networks. As they’re growth has slowed, ours has only sped up. What were once considered a novelty, or worse, fads, now have audiences that eclipse the biggest TV networks.

Made In Network started in 2013. It’s a familiar story, we grabbed some cameras, our friends, and created a bunch of YouTube channels. The channels grew to a few thousand subscribers, then a few million, then came the brand deals, and product lines and media empires. Fast forward to today; we’re a powerhouse of 12 independent brands with 150M combined subscribers generating over 800M monthly views. That’s 5 Billion minutes watched PER MONTH.

We don’t think we’re onto something. We know we are. We are the largest & most influential entertainment network you’ve never heard of. And our reach is growing by the millions. Every. Single. Day.
