Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix are looking for artists like you.

The need for content has been higher than ever with competing streaming platforms spending billions on original content. Amazon’s increase in its video budget continues the trend of internet companies entering the media business in a big way. Netflix is expected to spend as much as $8 billion on video content this year, while Facebook dips its toes in the water with a $1 billion total. Last year Amazon was estimated to have spent north of $4 billion on content. With thousands of original programs spread across these platforms, there has got to be people behind the scenes making all this happen. With a loose budget of $10 billion for programming and Marketing, Netflix is looking to grow their internal studio, Netflix Studios, by recruiting the best artists Hollywood has to offer. Their strategy is simple; hire the people that can do the job. And if they’re currently working at a studio, drive up their pay to motivate the switch. This shift is in response to the company’s goals to provide more content to drive more subscriptions. This is reflected in the most recent partnership with Dreamworks Animation Television with over 15 projects in fruition currently. So, why does this matter to you? These studios are looking for motivated artists to expand their library of animated series’ and VFX-heavy productions.
