Background
Red Coral finances, produces and distributes film and television content. With a focus on developing innovative and immersive experiences, they represent the perfect blend of traditional and emerging media. Recently, Red Coral embarked on a new venture by harnessing the global community of artists to create original content for their new OTT Streaming Service. One of their ambitious projects, “Barz,” is a Hip Hop competition series designed to bring authentic representation of the culture while showcasing America’s top undiscovered rappers and producers.
The Challenge
As the number-one streaming genre in the United States since 2017, Hip Hop has become a significant player in the highly profitable streaming industry, which generated $17 billion in 2022. However, despite its popularity, traditional television networks have often overlooked the genre.
Red Coral aimed to change this by creating the premier Hip Hop competition series on television, “Barz,” offering a refreshing documentary-style competition that genuinely celebrates the Hip Hop culture. They sought an efficient talent management solution to streamline talent applications and casting, enabling them to manage a large pool of contestants effectively.
