Background

About Connor Boals

Who I am*: Emmy-nominated creative with a demonstrated history of managing teams and launching great storytelling brands, with an emphasis on video content.*What I'm about*: I love a good story. In fact, I’ve been telling them professionally for over a decade. I started out as a ‘kid-with-a-camera’ running around Guatemala with a DSLR, before organizations like Reuters, NowThis and CNN opened their doors to me just as the digital video boom was beginning to unfold. In 2015, I found a home with Great Big Story where, alongside our team of talented storytellers, we helped define our brand's inspiring, curiosity-filled aesthetic now recognized by tens of millions worldwide. In 2017, I hopped across the pond to London where I launched Great Big Story’s first international bureau and focused on helping brand partners find, uncover and share their own unique stories from every corner of the planet. My current focus is running media at OceanX, a mission to explore the ocean and bring it back to the world.
