STELLA · Brighton
Brighton Talent for the South Coast's Creative Scene
Brighton carries one of the highest concentrations of independent creative and digital agencies outside London, and that density of small studios means a steady stream of brand, e-commerce and campaign briefs move through the city without ever routing through a national network. STELLA scouts Brighton talent who can work directly with agencies at that scale.
The seafront and the Lanes give lifestyle and fashion shoots a backdrop few English cities can match, and Brighton's long-standing LGBTQ+ community shapes a casting market that's genuinely open about representation, not a once-a-year campaign push. Our roster is built to reflect that, and it's scouted directly rather than pulled from a generic national pool.
Boards for Brighton's Creative Scene
Independent Agency & Digital
A large share of Brighton briefs come from independent creative and digital studios rather than national accounts; this board is scouted for agencies working at that scale.
Seafront & Lifestyle
The seafront and the Lanes give lifestyle and fashion shoots real character; we scout for talent who read naturally in daylight, outdoor conditions, not just under studio light.
LGBTQ+-Forward Casting
Brighton's casting market treats representation as a baseline, not a seasonal push; this board is built to reflect the city's community as it actually is.
