Radar was founded by Caroline Bottomley 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 notably 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 that have significantly progressed their career using the service include Emile Rafael,[7] Ellis Bahl[8] and Tom Stoddart.[9]

Caroline Bottomley also speaks at conferences about the nature and state of the music industry. In 2013 she chaired the Music4.5 conference 'The Rise of The Video'.[10]

On October 27, 2015, Radar Music Video announced a brand new partnership with boutique digital marketing and creative services company, Sneak Attack Media.[11]
