Talent casting

The right voice turns a campaign into a moment.

I match creators, athletes and cultural voices to the story, not just the follower count. Here's what that looks like in practice.

How I cast

01 · Start with the story. What moment are we meeting, and who does the audience already trust in it?

02 · Source beyond the obvious. Athletes, creators, fans and reporters, plus my own rosters across beauty, sports and fashion.

03 · Negotiate for the long game. Usage, whitelisting and exclusivity terms that keep content working. $150K+ saved across 175+ partnerships.

04 · Brief for performance. Briefs that come back on-brief and ready for paid amplification.
