Paradigm Talent Agency is a leading talent and literary agency representing a diverse array of clients in film, television, digital media, literature, branding, and sports, offering comprehensive career management and representation services.
Summary
Paradigm Talent Agency reinvented its internal workflow by implementing Prescene, slashing coverage and character breakdown times by over 95%. With this newfound efficiency, the agency was able to review 30% more material each week, leading to faster strategic decisions, stronger client relationships, and a bolstered industry reputation.
The Challenge
Paradigm Talent Agency prides itself on providing premier talent representation in a fast-paced entertainment landscape. However, their teams were spending up to three days on crucial coverage tasks and character breakdowns—time-consuming processes essential for evaluating scripts and matching the right talent. This lengthy turnaround not only limited the agency’s capacity to seize timely opportunities but also impeded the ability to focus on high-impact, client-focused initiatives. With client satisfaction and roster growth on the line, Paradigm needed a way to expedite these tasks without compromising accuracy or insight.
The Solution
Paradigm turned to Prescene to automate script coverage and character breakdowns. Prescene reduced turnaround times from three days to just five minutes, which freed up agents to:
- Assess more projects each week – increasing material reviews by 30%.
- Prioritize high-potential opportunities faster – making strategic decisions in minutes instead of days.
- Focus on meaningful client engagement – dedicating more energy to relationship-building and discovering new talent.
Key Results
“Prior to Prescene, it would take several days to generate coverage and character breakdowns for screenplays/teleplays and up to a week for books. Now, we can have coverage, analysis and breakdowns in-hand in a matter of minutes – thus affording our agents and assistants the opportunity to immediately review and understand the material and to act more rapidly on all client prospects and submissions. Prescene allows us to better serve our clients, which builds stronger partnerships and relationships with them and within the industry – leading to client career and company growth.”
