What Jarrett Creative Group does

Jarrett Creative Group is an independent television and film production company headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey, founded in 2005 by entertainment industry veterans Seth Jarrett and Julie Insogna-Jarrett after meeting at MTV. The company develops and produces original content for major US broadcast networks and streaming platforms, operating at the intersection of unscripted and scripted programming. Its catalog spans true crime series (Celebrity Ghost Stories, I Killed My BFF, Mark of a Serial Killer, Homicide for the Holidays, Killer Grannies), paranormal formats (The Haunting Of), docusoaps (Boston's Finest, Boss Nails, Sneaker Hustle, Lone Star Justice, Alaskan Women Looking for Love), music/reality formats (Rock this Boat: New Kids on the Block, Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream), and scripted feature films for Lifetime, Hallmark, and BET+ (Death Saved My Life, Aloha Heart, Ruined, I Killed My BFF: The Preacher's Daughter).

The company's underlying "technology" is its production infrastructure and creative development pipeline rather than software or platform technology: a small in-house development department led by Senior Director Jamie Kiliany sources ideas through external pitch submissions, internal concept development, and franchise extensions (e.g., adapting unscripted series into feature films). The business operates as a B2B production company with a sales-led go-to-market model in which senior leadership pitches directly to network and streaming executives. Revenue is generated through one-time content licensing agreements with buyers including TNT, A&E, Lifetime, Hallmark, BET+, Oxygen, TLC, LMN, Syfy, Disney Channel, and Discovery+, with downstream distribution through Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Tubi, MAX, and YouTube TV. The company is privately held and entirely founder-financed, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
