RRR Creative, an innovative creative agency focused on entertainment and fashion, and D'Marie Analytics, a leading social media analytics and influencer casting company, announced today the development of THE CAST, the first dedicated digital talent agency exclusively representing leading Broadway talent. The new digital agency launches with a roster of Broadway stars across two boards, "Leading Players" and "Rising Stars."
Harnessing the power of some the most devoted fanbases in all of entertainment, THE CAST will broker unique partnerships between today's top brands and Broadway's most powerful influencers. Talent and brands will be matched by the agenting team at THE CAST using their internal, cutting-edge metrics system in order to ensure that each and every influencer is both a demographic fit and an authentic ambassador for each brand. THE CAST will create dynamic digital campaigns to support the brands' unique goals and achieve maximum engagement.
"With our extensive background working in the theater, we have long known that Broadway stars are among the most beautiful, creative, and vibrant talents in America today," said RRR Creative Co-Founders Ryan Ratelle and Sam Ratelle.
