Finding Your Creative People with Assisting Work
When you’re working in the creative industry, your ideas are only as strong as the team helping to bring them to life. But finding your people…the ones who get the aesthetic, share the mood, and genuinely care about the project, can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
That’s where Assisting Work comes in
They’ve built this wonderful Instagram channel that connects creatives in the most effortless way. Whether you’re looking for a photographer who shares your vision, a makeup artist who just gets the brief, or a stylist who can read your mind, they make the process so smooth.
It’s not just about filling roles. It’s about connecting people who want to be there, who are excited to collaborate, who believe in the project, and who want to make magic happen with you.
Whether you’re pulling together a team for a test shoot, a passion project, a collaboration, or paid client work, Assisting Work is like a matchmaking service for your creative dreams. They’ve harnessed the incredible connectivity of Instagram to make finding the right people not just possible, but joyful.
How They’ve Helped Me
I’ve used Assisting Work to build teams for several test shoots, from photographers to makeup artists, and honestly, they’re doing God’s work.
As a Creative Director, I have so many ideas bubbling away in my head, not all of which naturally fit into client work. I needed to find people who were as passionate about bringing these visions to life as I was. But I didn’t know where to start.
Enter Assisting Work
They helped me find collaborators who believed in the concepts and wanted to be part of the process. Many of these people I now work with on other projects, both personal and professional. It’s expanded my network with like-minded creatives, and the connections I’ve made feel organic and long-lasting.
If you’re in the creative industry and you’ve ever wished you could find your dream team (or even your dream job), Assisting Work is the place to start. It’s not just about connecting, it’s about creating a community where creativity thrives.
