WHAT MAKES AI-MEDIA A GREAT PLACE TO WORK?

The best thing about Ai-Media is the close-knit culture, the fast-paced innovation and being able to say that our services tangibly benefit the lives of people – one word at a time.

I came to Ai-Media in 2014 looking for a casual job to do while studying. During captioning training I doubted that I would learn to respeak, however, in the fourth week of training it just ‘clicked’ and with it came immense satisfaction. I then quickly put my hand up to move into a full-time role to caption content for Channel Nine which was my first ever full-time role. When we started captioning for Channel Seven the team grew and I was able to move into a role as a Coordinator, increasing my responsibilities and allowing me to interact on a daily basis with large broadcast clients. In 2018, an opportunity opened up in the sales team and I was able to bring my experience in operations to help explain to clients how our services work and the amazing impact they have in people’s lives.
