The TV industry wants to be more diverse and representative of the audiences that it serves. Gritty Talent makes this happen.

Diversity and inclusion is a critical business priority for the TV and wider media sector. However finding high potential talent from diverse groups takes time, and can be a challenge given the historical barriers faces by talent from under-represented groups. At Gritty, we do this work for you.
We seek out high potential creative talent from all backgrounds who will enrich your productions. We also do the D&I work to understand the ways in which they are underrepresented, and how they can be supported to thrive in your workplace.
In return we ask that all our clients look at all prospective talent via the lens of potential: how can you help this person develop and refine their creative skills, in order to do their best work with you?
