Founder story
Founded in 2015 by Philippe Brodeur in Dublin, Ireland. Philippe, a veteran media executive with experience at the BBC and TV3, realized that the world was moving to video, but the tools to manage it were still prehistoric. He built Overcast HQ to bring 'Google-level search' to the world of professional media.
