The problem

Producers staffing a shoot in Texas were working from personal contact lists and word of mouth, and the talent they wanted had no single place to be found.

The strategy

We turned a scattered hiring problem into a statewide creative network.

How we approached it

The answer was not another résumé database. We centered the product on visible work, direct contact, and signals that help people trust who they are hiring. The directory, portfolio system, opportunity board, and memberships all grew from that decision.

What the business gained

Creatives can now publish a credible Texas portfolio, show availability and verified details, and be discovered directly. Producers can search 112 crafts across 12 Texas markets, review the actual work, build a crew list, and connect without an agency fee.

What we built

A portfolio-first directory connecting Texas creative talent with the people hiring them — profiles, search across 112 crafts, an opportunities board, and paid memberships.

  • Member profiles with project galleries and video reels
  • Search by craft, city, and availability
  • Opportunities board for posting paid roles
  • Crew board for shortlisting and managing collaborators
  • Three-tier membership with billing
  • Direct contact with no booking fees
Four decisions that shaped the build
01

Portfolio before résumé

Search results and member pages lead with galleries, reels, credits, and specialties so the work makes the case.

02

Trust is part of the product

Identity, business, and portfolio-review signals help hirers evaluate people before the first message.

03

One platform, two audiences

Creatives build their presence while producers search talent, post opportunities, and organize potential crews.

04

Free entry, room to grow

A useful free profile opens the network broadly; paid memberships add portfolio depth, visibility, and analytics.
