Deep dives

The Journey to Fame

Coming from a family business background, the Robertsons initially focused on selling duck calls through a show on the Outdoor Channel. Their relationship with a marketing agency led to the idea of a reality TV show, which eventually attracted the attention of a producer from LA. The producer's vision for a larger platform spurred discussions with A&E, which resulted in producing two pilot shows and the eventual airing of the show on a bigger network.
