Over the course of a year, the five personalities will create daily content streams for a number of platforms, including YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat under the social handle BetaSquad5. They will also continue to publish content via their own channels.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Beta Squad<\/em> creators will individually and collectively cover conversations of importance to young people across comedy, entertainment, music, gaming, fashion and sports. Together, they\u2019ll tap into a shared discourse and audience pool, representing young BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) personalities from the U.K.<\/p>\n<p>James Stafford, Studio71 UK&#8217;s managing director, said: \u201cThe launch of <em>Beta Squad<\/em> is our biggest creator investment to date. We are excited to experiment with a new reality concept that challenges the creative potential of online content while opening up exciting opportunities for brands and partners. In a climate where there is uncertainty around influencers and influencer marketing, and when many online brands are struggling to prove commercial viability, we see this initiative as a way to contribute to the creator ecosphere, while demonstrating our confidence in the future faces of entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studio71 in the U.K., a Red Arrow Studios company, is introducing\u00a0Beta Squad, an online reality project led by five rising creators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":12300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[3476,462],"class_list":["post-12299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-beta-squad","tag-studio71","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Studio71 to Launch Online Reality Concept Beta Squad - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/studio71-to-launch-online-reality-concept-beta-squad\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Studio71 to Launch Online Reality Concept Beta Squad - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Studio71 in the U.K., a Red Arrow Studios company, is introducing\u00a0Beta Squad, an online reality project led by five rising creators.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/studio71-to-launch-online-reality-concept-beta-squad\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-02-25T16:13:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-02-25T19:34:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/BETA-SQUAD_-0219.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/studio71-to-launch-online-reality-concept-beta-squad\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/studio71-to-launch-online-reality-concept-beta-squad\/\",\"name\":\"Studio71 to Launch Online Reality Concept Beta Squad - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-25T16:13:21+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-02-25T19:34:34+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/studio71-to-launch-online-reality-concept-beta-squad\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/studio71-to-launch-online-reality-concept-beta-squad\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/studio71-to-launch-online-reality-concept-beta-squad\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Studio71 to Launch Online Reality Concept Beta Squad\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
