About us

FlightStory is a creator media company that builds and scales creator-led brands. We create and grow video-first shows including Steven Bartlett's The Diary Of A CEO, Davina McCall's Begin Again and Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk. Our teams combine storytelling, technology, audience growth and commercial expertise to turn powerful voices into media brands that grow across shows, books, products and new formats.

The most important part of our machine isn't technology, capital or distribution. It's people. As Steven often says: "The meaning of 'a company' is simply a group of people, and hiring the right ones is the single most important thing you'll do."

We move fast, we experiment, and we only hire A-Players. That puts our talent team at the centre of everything we do.
