Life at Magnet
Since our inception 25 years ago, we’ve continued to uphold our original mission of telling stories that matter, so that we live in a more inclusive and equitable world. This means having an intentional focus on including people of color, veterans, LGBTQIA+, people from different faiths, cultures, and religions, single dads, women returning to work after raising children…from brand new citizens to those whose family came over on the Mayflower, and both junior protegés and sage experienced talent. Differently together is what drives our passion for meaningful creative storytelling.
At Magnet, you’ll find talents from around the world with a variety of experiences bonding over coffee, video games, books, pets, sports, interior design, music, the latest meme or streaming series… and many more!
