How We Come Up With Show Ideas
Every day, we receive inquiries from organizations claiming to be the "World’s Greatest". Our Creative Team reviews every application, and if they approve of an idea, the Senior and Associate Producers will begin pre-qualifying organizations in that particular field of interest. Depending on the concept or idea, the Producers might be researching a handful of candidates within a niche industry, or possibly hundreds in organizations within larger industries.
Meeting our Qualifications
Next, we validate each candidate's qualifications. We look at details such as when were they established? Are they a startup, or a pioneer? A family business, or a publicly traded company? The Producers quickly eliminate any candidates that have been involved with scandal, bad press, class action lawsuits, or any unethical or illegal association. We focus our attention on organizations that go above and beyond in their industry and stand out amongst their competitors.
Discovery Calls, Interviews, & Casting Calls
Discovery calls are brief. The Associate Producer’s goal is to quickly identify whether the candidate has an intriguing story, and are they an innovator, leader, or expert - or is there another factor that makes them stand out. If the Producer hears a compelling story, the next step is a formal phone interview, or Casting Call, with the organization's CEO, President, or Owner.
Announce a Winner
After each candidate is interviewed and has shown evidence that they will be able to meet all our requirements, the Producers create a unique PowerPoint presentation for each candidate, which is then pitched to our Executive Producers. The finalists chosen by the Executive Producers are picked based on several factors, including the quality of the story, how much entertainment value the candidate will bring to the viewers, the enthusiasm of the company's leadership, and the ability to prove that they will meet all of our production requirements.
