Life at Banijay

Our Purpose

Creativity should be free from organizational rules and restraints. That’s why we commit all our entrepreneurial drive to unleashing the best on-screen storytelling for the world. We call this storymaking.

There is no one Banijay way to make stories, we clear the paths all our people want to explore. We let our storymakers have their spark, then add the oxygen to make it catch fire.

We are Banijay – Storymaking set free

What Defines Us?

Premium talent & IP

We are greater than the sum of our parts – a collective of the best creative talent in the world, collaboration sits at the heart of all we do. Partnering to grow ideas and maximise on them worldwide, we have nurtured a growing catalogue spanning 120,000 hours of premium, high-quality content.

Independence

Our independence is what sets us apart. We are agile and proud to be able to partner with any buyer or seller worldwide and subsequently provide talent with a home where they can be creatively free.

Collaborative entrepreneurialism

We are a lean team with big ambitions. We encourage autonomy, promote independent thinking and decision-making, while driving a sense of unity through a shared collaborative spirit. And while there is one goal, we believe in the power of enabling and trusting our teams to use different paths to get there.

Local wisdom, global ambition

We give our talent the space, freedom and incentivisation to create the most compelling content and IP both locally and globally. We believe in taking risks to succeed and by fostering our regional know-how to build innovative universal super brands and premium scripted hits, we have become a go-to for quality, no matter the language, no matter the genre and no matter the platform.
