Founders
Great Big Story was founded by Chris Berend and Andrew Morse. Chris Berend started off in media by working at ESPN, for 6 years, as a director of content. He then became the head of video for Bloomberg Media Group. After leaving Bloomberg Media Group, Berned became the senior vice president of CNN’s digital video. Andrew Morse started in media by working as a desk assistant for ABCnews.com. Morse worked himself up the ladder at ABC News and eventually became a producer. He spent a total of 15 years at ABC. After leaving ABC Morse became the Head of Bloomberg Television. Morse then left Bloomberg and joined CNN in 2013. At CNN Morse is the Executive Vice President and General Manager of CNN Digital Worldwide. In 2015, while both working at CNN, Bernend and Morse came up with the idea for Great Big Story. Berned co-founded Great Big Story and he oversees strategy/operations and audience development. Berend described wanting GBS to be “fundamentally optimistic, but not naive or sunshine-y”. Morse described wanting Great Big Story to have “remarkable feats of storytelling”.
