Radar was founded by Caroline Bottomley in 2007 as The Radar Festival, a music video festival held at London’s Apple store.[2] In 2008, the festival played at seven Apple stores worldwide, as well as London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. It subsequently moved online to become a music video commissioning service.
Artists that have had music videos made through the service include Alt-J[3] and Jessie J.[4]
Radar has also been used by dance music producers and labels, including Tiesto, Spinnin' Records[5] and Ultramusic, alongside major labels such as Island Records[6] and Universal Records.
Directors such as Emile Rafael,[7] Ellis Bahl[8] and Tom Stoddart have used the service in their music careers.[9]
On October 27, 2015, Radar Music Video announced a partnership with boutique digital marketing and creative services company, Sneak Attack Media.[10]
