Currently, the CEO of Talent Dynamics he owns and oversees the talent placement and coaching service to the broadcast industry. Gary Brown along with his partner Patrick McCreery formed Glass City Talent, LLC to make investments in niche broadcasting and digital companies, Talent Dynamics is their first investment. Prior to forming Glass City Talent, he was the Senior Vice President of Content, for Meredith’s local media group. Brown led the development and build-out of the creative and design groups that created image promotion and graphics across the station group. He also launched the syndicated People TV show for Meredith airing in all 12 of the company’s markets. Brown also implemented content centers across the group and developed the company’s OTT and mobile apps and digital content initiatives that helped increase engagement and revenue across the group.

Talent Dynamics has been involved in placement and coaching in the broadcast industry for almost 30 years. Today, the company maintains the largest video database of on-air and off-air talent in television news. Its coaching practice works with some of the largest markets in the country. The coaching division in 2023 is branching out to coach executives, financial advisors, real estate agents, and those in other industries who find themselves doing more video work on Zoom and Webex or are using video to market their own services and want to feel more comfortable on camera. Our company slogan is move forward and what we do is give individuals the tools to move forward in their careers, by talent coaching and placement help to get that next job.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Well, integrating a company that has been around for years is always challenging. There are cultural changes that happen regardless of intent when new leadership comes in. 2023 has been challenging given the economy and companies having to make decisions when it comes to using outside services. Also, our coaching practice needed to be re-energized and focused on the evolving needs of our clients. Plus, we need to expand out of just the broadcast space into other fields, which is a challenge we are totally up for.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
For almost 30 years Talent Dynamics has been in some ways a secret in the broadcast news industry. We worked behind the scenes working with TV stations and networks on their placement needs. This year, we have worked hard and continue to work on increasing our visibility within the broadcast industry. We also do performance coaching for talent. Our practices has grown this year to include real estate agents, C-suite executives, and individuals in other industries who want public speaking help or find themselves doing more on-camera video projects. Regardless of the industry, our coaches can help anyone become more comfortable on camera, with better delivery and that can lead to more sales! Our slogan at Talent Dynamics is #MoveForward, everything we do helps individuals and organizations move forward in their hiring process, and individuals with their performance skills.
How do you define success?
Success is making an impact for your customers. When you can help them see the value of what you bring to their organization, which in turn means a longer association, that is what success means to me.
