ABOUT
People Desk is a casting and talent consultancy built on a global foundation of experience across media, fashion, and storytelling. We bring together strategic thinking, creative insight, and a down-to-earth, collaborative approach to deliver talent solutions that resonate.
With an editorial eye and 20 years of industry experience, we connect world-class talent with brands and creative teams who value substance, originality, and story.
Casting for campaigns, content, fashion shows, events and special projects—working with the emerging to the established, as well as offering street casting—we source talent who align with a brand’s world and values.
Alongside casting, People Desk offers a wider set of services designed to support brands in shaping their talent identity and engagement strategy. This includes talent forecasting (both industry-wide and bespoke), talent troubleshooting, negotiation, and discreet industry insight. We help refine brand direction, assist with honed, talent-friendly creative input on campaign development, and offer fractional services—providing senior guidance when and where it’s most needed. When you need experience in the room, we can be there.
From building the big picture to solving the smaller moments, we work closely with brands, agencies and creative teams to ensure those in front of the camera add value to the vision.
