The collaboration turned into a high five-figure campaign...
Through the WIIM Slack community, I discovered a casting call that I never would have seen elsewhere. I applied on behalf of my client who was selected by the brand and agency partner. The collaboration turned into a high five-figure campaign and was truly a joy to work on from start to finish. The process was seamless, thoughtful, and creatively rewarding. It was exactly the kind of high quality opportunity that makes being a member of WIIM a no brainer and well worth the ROI.
