⚡ The Challenge
Marie Josée Elchab, Director of Influencer Marketing at AimeJay Media, was tasked with finding the right creator for a dating app campaign targeting Gen Z audiences.
The client wanted an authentic creator who could naturally speak about dating, relationships, and meaningful connections. The ideal candidate needed a strong US-based audience, high engagement, and content that aligned with the campaign's message.
Like many marketers, Marie faced a common challenge: finding represented creators isn't always easy.
While there are plenty of platforms for discovering influencers, sourcing talent represented by agencies often depends on existing relationships, email outreach, LinkedIn posts, Slack communities, or waiting for referrals.
Instead of spending weeks manually reaching out to agencies within her network, Marie decided to post the opportunity on Zano.
🚀 The Solution: Using Zano
Using Zano's casting call marketplace, AimeJay Media published a brief outlining the campaign requirements and budget.
Within just a few days, the campaign generated 50+ creator submissions from 22 different vetted talent agencies.
The response gave Marie access to a wide range of represented talent without having to manage dozens of separate outreach conversations.
Finding the Right Fit
Among the submissions, one creator quickly stood out: Jenna Hall, represented by Entertainment Lab.
What made the process especially efficient was the information included in the submission itself.
When Entertainment Lab submitted Jenna for consideration, they included pricing details and additional notes directly alongside the application. This gave Marie valuable context immediately, allowing her to assess the opportunity beyond simply reviewing an Instagram profile.
At the same time, Zano provided live creator data, including:
- Follower count
- Average views
- Average likes
- Engagement rate
- Audience demographics (location, gender and age breakdown)
Having pricing information, audience data, and performance metrics available in one place made it easy to evaluate Jenna as a strong candidate from the start.
From Submission to Partnership
Once Jenna emerged as a leading candidate, Marie was able to move quickly.
Zano provided direct contact information for Jenna's representative, eliminating the need to search for the right point of contact or navigate multiple introductions.
Marie reached out to Sean from Entertainment Lab directly through the contact information provided on Zano, and conversations began immediately.
The discussions were smooth and efficient from the start. Negotiations moved quickly, communication was clear, and both Sean and Jenna were highly responsive throughout the process.
As the client requested revisions and updates, Entertainment Lab worked collaboratively to ensure everything stayed on track and aligned with campaign expectations.
Before long, the partnership was finalized and the creator secured.
The Result
Through a single Zano casting call, AimeJay Media was able to:
- Reach more than 20 talent agencies
- Receive over 50 creator submissions in days
- Evaluate talent using live performance and audience data
- Connect directly with the right representative
- Secure the right creator for the campaign quickly and efficiently
Rather than relying on fragmented outreach methods, Marie was able to manage the entire sourcing process from one platform.
Why It Matters
The influencer marketing industry has no shortage of creator discovery tools.
However, represented talent remains fragmented across agency rosters, personal networks, inboxes, spreadsheets, and referral channels.
Zano was built to solve that problem by creating a dedicated marketplace where brands, agencies, and talent representatives can connect efficiently.
For AimeJay Media, that meant turning a single casting call into meaningful conversations with more than 20 talent agencies and ultimately finding the right creator partner in just days.
That's exactly the workflow Zano was designed to make easier.
"Zano made the entire process seamless."
