| Talent Clearing House, Inc. (TCH) was formed in 2001
when our founder, Paul Barretta, combined his experience in
corporate finance within the Media and Entertainment Industry and
Commercial Banking. He envisioned a company powered by a
streamlined, automated process to provide third party services to
companies across the industry required to administer and initiate
payments to talent; music, program and merchandise licensors; equity
participants, and other similar payments.
Initial market research and product development pointed toward
independent record labels as the group within the industry that
would benefit most from initial use of our services. Initial
versions of the system were developed and test marketed on a few
customers. The feedback was excellent, and those test
customers are still using our services today. Furthermore, the
systems powering our services were enhanced, thanks to the feedback
of those initial customers.
The design of our proprietary system empowers our third party
service to bring the best of both worlds to companies of all sizes.
By streamlining several steps in the process, including the use of
electronic payment files and report output, we enable customers to
reduce their administrative costs by enjoying the benefits of scale
economies and automation. Small and Large companies alike are in a
position to maintain control over their payments while lowering
their cost base; re-allocating their current resources; or expanding
their catalogs or activity without increasing expenses.
What this means to our customers is that they can focus their
efforts to a greater degree on the more creative and specialized
areas of their businesses. Big or small, companies in the
Media & Entertainment Industry thrive when they focus on those
parts of their business that are unique to what they offer.
Whatever part of the industry you’re in, whether you’re a
record label struggling with how to manage royalties from
digital download sales, or a television network looking to
create greater efficiencies, please contact us to find out
more about how you can benefit from the services offered by
Talent Clearing House.
