As one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world, Netflix is a significant contributor to the global creative economy. Our investments support businesses, create new jobs, spur additional economic activity, and open the door to new creative opportunities. As our investments grow, we are looking to improve our ability to measure this impact and better share the story of Netflix’s contribution to local economies.
