The location behind Cloudland
Environment is one of the most important things to a company's culture. At Cloudland, not only do we value state-of-the-art technology and innovations, but we also value family, stability, and quality of life.
There's an unhealthy trend in the media & entertainment industry for studios to pack up and move to new locations to chase better tax incentives. This puts strain on employees to constantly move around, never having a stable place to call home. And many of these locations have such high living costs that it's nearly impossible to have a house and a yard, or raise a family.
For the benefit of our people, Cloudland Studios will never change locations to chase tax incentives. Since we're committed to stability, it's important that our location is one of the best. Raleigh, NC is ranked the #1 city in America (#3 in the world) on the "Quality of Life" index. It's the center of the East Coast; halfway between New York & Florida, and halfway between Atlanta & DC. It's only a few hours from the beach and a few hours from the mountains. The cost of living makes having a house, yard, and family completely doable. For these reasons and many more, we're able to focus on thriving, not surviving.
That's why we're proud to call Raleigh, NC home!
