Impact careers
Content creation is exploding globally. The film and television industry supports 2.6 million jobs and pays $177B+ in wages per year in the U.S. alone. But the industry can’t keep up, because the way that stories are brought to life are outdated, inefficient, arduous, completely insular and opaque.
Creating content is a complicated, expensive, collaborative, logistically challenging process that requires bringing hundreds of highly skilled independent contractors together in a distant location for a period of time that still operates using paper, PDFs, email, and software from 1999. It’s a network-driven industry, with no online network. It’s an industry that desperately needs more diversity and people in the workforce, but no one knows how to “break in”. Impact intends to change how the stories that shape our global culture get made. As champions for the hard-working people who bring stories to life, Impact supercharges how crews connect and collaborate, so they can be more successful and fulfilled.
Co-Founded by Academy Award winners Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, we understand the challenges and sacrifices that crew make to bring the movies and shows that we love to life. Working behind the scenes is incredibly hard work, and we recognize that crew do not get the recognition they deserve. That’s why we’re dedicated to building technology and services that help make their jobs a little easier, lives a little better, and the industry more inclusive.
