How much does it cost to hire talent?
The cost to hire talent varies depending on the type of project, the scope of work, and the talent's expertise or status. Here’s a breakdown:

For commercial and influencer talent, additional content usage fees may apply based on the scope (local, regional, national, or global) and duration (limited use or in perpetuity). These fees are calculated as a percentage of the talent's base rate. Content usage fees are not included in the base rates for commercial and influencer talent. These fees are determined on a project-by-project or talent-specific basis and may vary based on the scope and duration of content usage. Note that this does not typically apply to most UGC talent.- Local Usage (limited regions): 10% – 50% of the talent's base rate

- Limited Use (3-12 months): 25% – 100% of the base rate
- In Perpetuity Use: 200% – 400% of the base rate
- If your project requires premium or influencer talent, please contact us to discuss specific usage fees and durations.

What does the talent booking process look like?
The booking process is simple. Browse our talent directory, view headshots, portfolio samples, social media profiles and even request custom audition tapes from your top talent selections.
Then, when you're ready to hire talent. Place your service order in our content production platform here, and share your top 3-5 choices for each role for your scripts, creative briefs, etc.
Keep it mind, not every talent is available or interested in your project despite a potential, early fit for a role, project or campaign. Also, we have premium, higher-cost talent in our database that may require extra costs beyond the standard rates listed in the booking process.
