Overview

Overview

The world has changed, and media is struggling to change with it. The internet fuelled advertising-driven business models where all that mattered was capturing as many eyeballs as possible. The resulting economy brought us clickbait, outrage, fake news, and a fraught competition for your attention. Today, creators are choosing a new model where they have a direct relationship with an audience who pay a subscription to receive their content. The incentives are aligned, and the audience is the customer, not the product being sold.

At Ghost, we're a small team creating a large platform that's redefining how people are publishing online. The opportunity ahead for subscription commerce is hard to overstate, and we're looking for people who can help turn our dream for the future of publishing into a reality.
