Meet "Love is Blind" Creator and EP Chris Coelen

If you are serious about a career in reality TV, Chris Coelen walks us through how an idea can become a massive reality TV hit and advice on how you can build a solid career in entertainment too.

In this episode of “Coffee with KP,” we’re chatting with Chris Coelen, founder and CEO of Kinetic Content, the company behind hit reality TV series including “Love is Blind,” “The Ultimatum,” “Married at First Sight,” “Perfect Match,” and many more.

Chris earned his Bachelor’s degree in Advertising from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and initially wanted to be a journalist. He started his career at APA in 1992 representing TV news people then switched over to UTA in 1996, where he worked there as an agent for 10 years. In 2006 he launched the U.S. division of RDF Television before setting up Kinetic and giving us 1000s of hours of great reality TV.

In this episode, you’ll learn the truth about how agents determine the value of a client (and what you can expect from an agent,) details of how “Love is Blind” went from concept to hit (including casting real people and having Nick and Vanessa Lachey hosts) and most importantly, encouraging words about how to succeed in entertainment.

If you are considering a career in non-scripted TV, this is a MUST listen. To unlock this episode and all previously released episodes of “CWKP” with high level executives about what they do and advice on how you can do it too, upgrade your subscription to paid today.
