We inspire the world.
We connect the world one story at a time
Great Big Story is an Emmy and Cannes Lions-winning global media company devoted to cinematic storytelling.

Established in 2015 through an investment by CNN Worldwide, Great Big Story operates as an independent media company with offices in New York City and London.
Our Mission
As kids, we wanted to be astronauts, explorers, scientists and artists. As adults, we are a global team of storytellers, inquisitive and unconventional, determined to change the way you see the world.
We believe there is magic in the world and it’s our mission in life to help you discover it.
We search for stories showing a sense of optimism for the world…
… because goodness can grow through the smallest cracks in the sidewalk.
We pique curiosities that bring us closer together…
… because we have more in common than we think.
Through compassion, understanding and unique perspectives, we’re united by common interest to enlighten, engage and entertain the global generation, no matter where they live or how they identify.
Great Big Story is built upon the values of honesty, respect, curiosity and drive. This network is a creative standard, a new way to see the world.
This is Great Big Story.
