Theres so much great talent in the world that never gets acknowledged or discovered because they don’t have the right people representing them. Most talented people will admit they’re bad at representing themselves because come on, who the heck can do everything well?
When I heard about a talent agent who created a built in TV network to showcase his broadcasting talent, I thought that was very innovative and worth knowing more about.
The owner of DBA Talent in Pennsylvania David Brunner risked an idea during the pandemic he might not have tried otherwise. He created the first ever online streaming network owned and operated by a talent agency. 24 hours of talk, sports, travel, cooking shows and other entertainment. He orchestrated it initially as way to support his clients and keep them engaged and motivated during a very hard time for work, and encouraged them to support each other as well. It not only worked but the network is expanding and many of his clients are being seen and plucked away to other network jobs…which is the point of the whole thing.
DBA represents; anchors, reporters, weather people, sports reporters and play by play announcers, hosts and experts, management and producers, radio talent, professional voice talent and now podcasters too.
I just love people who think out of the box and invited David Brunner to join me to find out more to share with those of you who may be looking for talent representation.
“It was quite a job but now that we’ve launched we are proud of what we’ve accomplished,” says Brunner who started in the radio business himself years ago. DB&A Television features talent from every major market in the U.S. They’re always looking for talented people.
DB&A Television is a Worldwide 24/7 Streaming Television Channel with first run Entertainment, Travel,Sports, Information & Talk Shows. It’s the only TV network in the world run by a talent agency and now has 36 shows going 24/7 on Amazon Fire, Apple TV, on a You Tube Channel, and on their own network website.
David Brunner who goes by ‘DB’ prides himself on having created a talent agency he’s run for 28 years that never has more than 100 clients at a time, so each client he says, gets individual attention and weekly communication which sets them apart from other agencies. They’re located in Pennsylvania and represent television and radio clients at the network level and local level.
I told David when we were chatting I thought his TV network slogan should be ‘Please Steal Our Talent Away’ Hey I like it. LOL.
Enjoy the interview.
I love this! As a private chef and entrepreneur, I have created many “out of the box” experiences for individuals looking for the “outdoors experience” that brings people together to enjoy delicious foods, culinary tips, movies……and you name it, I can do it!”
Very cool Jennifer. Why don’t you get in touch with David Brunner and tell him how fabulous you are. Risk it ! Or Regret it! Best! Debbie
