Ripoffreport Report Image

Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Adrian R’Mante during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases towards CGTV.

Creative Group Television is a talent company created by Adrian R’mante. Mr. R’mante is a seasoned actor who has been featured on NCIS, CSI, Hawaii 5-0, NCIS: Los Angeles, CSI: New York, and had a recurring role on Disney’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. He decided to utilize his skills by creating Creative Group Television to help cultivate young actor’s skills, “I thought it was a perfect business. My model is simply to find talent, train it, and put them in front of people that can change their lives.”

Leads for Creative Group Television are primarily obtained through social media and radio. Mr. R’mante proceeded to explain the sales and services process for Creative Group Television, “it starts off with capturing their dreams.” His marketing is targeted towards fulfilling the dreams of potential clients. Once he has their attention and the client has expressed interest Mr. R’mante will, “talk about the different packages that I offer and the success stories that I have from that.” From that point, the potential client must audition to be in the program.



CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – CGTV

During the on-site interview, Mr. R'manta was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. R'mante expressed that working with actors in the television industry often has a negative connotation with most people. Actors are told to be wary of anyone trying to help him succeed in the industry.

Additionally, he expressed that most complaints arise from actors who did not pass the audition to become a part of his program, or from actors who couldn't afford the fee for the program, "I’m very upfront with them, it’s a fee-based program. They make in, the kids are very excited, but then the parents can’t afford it." In order to combat complaints of this nature, Mr. R'manta is upfront with his potential clients on the cost associated with his program, and that the program is not for everyone.

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. R'manta expressed that the complaints are primarily misunderstandings of his service or people who did not make the audition. He further stated, "I'm not an agency...I never claimed to be. So, people say I'm an agency and charging you up front. I charge my money up front because I'm providing you a service up front." Mr. R'manta is not an agent but his service ensures his clients that they will obtain an agent with his help. In order to further assure future and current clients, "the great thing about having a company in California: you have to be licensed and bonded to do what you do. If you’re an agency you have to be licensed and bonded. If you’re a casting director you have to be licensed and bonded. If you’re a training service- which I am, and it clearly says that on my website- I am licensed and bonded with the state of California, and I follow the Act rules and regulations and policies. So if you look me up you can see my bond. So they’re protected. Their investment is protected. If anybody complains that I scam them or I don’t provide my service, then I am required to refund them."

When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to making things right with the consumer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. R'manta stated, "my biggest thing is communication. I’ve created a Facebook page where all of my actors that have signed up for my program have a direct connection with me. If you’re familiar with Facebook messenger: you and I both know it, it functions just like a telephone, like a cell phone. You can a message- a text message, you can call, you can facetime, all that. These families that sign up… right away get direct connection with me. And they can contact me about questions- even after the program’s over. So they’re not only investing into their initial… career, but they’re investing for the rest of their life connected with me."

Creative Group Television is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "It’s everything to me because I get it. If you’ve been ripped off by somebody, there should be a company out there backing those people...So I love the fact that Ripoff is… allowing a legitimate company like mine to verify itself with their company."

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CGTV The Young Agency Nationwide

 We were contacted to attend a audition for The Young Agency. While attending the focus switched to CGTV and it's "program". They audition everyone for what reason I don't know why cause when you are called back the next day to go to The Young Agency( which they rented out cause they are normally closed sunday).you find that they call everyone back. They pump you up with comments that they say to everyone like your child is just what they are looking for and has a great future in the industry. They will even offer a $1,000 "scholarship" discount. And to protect themselves from a lawsuit they say their program is like a vacation. My point is that they don't promise you any return on your "investment" with them, they don't get you signed with a agency or any jobs. They are full of =! $*. Don't waste your money.
