Portrait of Rick Barrio Dill, CEO and Founder of SLAP Studios LA

Rick Barrio Dill

CEO | Founder

Rick Barrio Dill is the CEO and Founder of SLAP Studios LA, and a world touring musician with the band Vintage Trouble. He built the Studio around one idea: creators should own their brand, not rent it. Years producing his own music and podcasts taught him what creators actually need — not more content, but a system that turns content into revenue. He built that system into SLAP, guiding clients through every stage — from recording and strategy, to marketing and monetization. As CEO, Rick oversees both sides of the business: the Studio, where clients can record with full production support, and the Agency, where SLAP's post-production team edits, clips short-form content, handles publishing management, and email marketing with Meta and TikTok ad support that then connects clients to brand sponsorships and revenue-share deals. He's committed to helping podcast creators, entrepreneurs, and brands anywhere in the world build platforms and processes that generate real income.

Portrait of Anjali Bhimani, Chief Storytelling Officer and Advisor at SLAP Studios LA

Anjali Bhimani

Chief Storytelling Officer | Advisor

Anjali Bhimani is Chief Storytelling Officer and Advisor at SLAP Studios LA — a TV, Film, and Voiceover star Actress, and Producer of the award-winning "Puppy Roll" Live Actual Play series. She keeps her seat at SLAP around one mandate: stay close enough to the creator's chair to keep the Studio vibe honest. Years as a working Actress and Producer taught her what creators feel on the other side of the mic, camera, and deadline — pressure most studio decisions never account for. As CSO, Anjali helps shape the creative direction and culture underneath both the Studio and Agency — she's part of the real, working-creator core that gives SLAP its vibe, and effacy. Above all, she's committed to keeping SLAP built by creators, for creators, so it never loses the instincts that made it worth building.

Portrait of Bri Coorey, Senior Producer and VP of Content & Affiliate Management at SLAP Studios LA

Bri Coorey

Senior Producer | VP, Content & Affiliate Management

Bri Coorey is the Senior Producer and VP of Content and Affiliate Management at SLAP Studios LA — with hundreds of productions behind her, she's the one who knows what really matters after the cameras stop rolling. Hundreds of sessions taught her that most creators walk in focused on the recording and never ask the real question: where is this content actually going? Bri runs SLAP's creative content pipelines day-to-day, building every video or ad toward an actual destination, not just a finished episode. She also leads Content and Affiliate Management for the Agency, working directly with SLAP's VIP Ambassadors and brand content affiliate partners to guide their content toward real monetization, not just more posts. Bri is who most creators want to work with, and the reason their content has somewhere to go instead of just going out.

Committed to supporting creators at every step, he plays an essential role in keeping the studio's day-to-day operations running efficiently for clients across the Los Angeles content community.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a local marketing consultant?

Look for a consultant who begins with your business goals, target customers, offer, and current marketing performance—not a prepackaged list of tactics. They should explain their process, define what they will deliver, identify which channels are appropriate, and describe how results will be measured. Relevant experience, transparent communication, and a realistic implementation plan are stronger signals than broad promises.
