StageSide
A direct booking platform connecting bookers with talent — the evolution of TalentZ.
our role: Founder, product and build
stageside.com
the situation
Booking talent for live events, brand work and festivals runs through layers of intermediaries. TalentZ proved there was appetite for something more direct; the next version needed to be a real platform rather than a directory.
the thinking
Make discovery the product. Bookers arrive knowing a category, a budget and a date — not a name — so the platform should let them browse by discipline, build profiles that answer commercial questions, and put the conversation in one place.
what we built
- 01Positioning and identity as StageSide
- 02Talent profiles with browse and discover journeys
- 03Category structures across influencers, musicians, speakers, entertainers, presenters and brand ambassadors
- 04Accounts and profile creation for talent
- 05Enquiry and communication flow between booker and talent
- 06Platform architecture built to keep growing
inside the build
Real screens, captured live. Every page is built to load fast, read clearly and work the same on a phone as it does on a desktop.
where it is now
A live booking platform, in active development.
