What this project shows

The Home Grown Tour wasn't a single campaign. It was a rolling content engine across 6 cities, each with its own theme (youth culture in LA, wellness in Boulder, culinary in Chicago) and its own set of local creators.

  • Each stop required separate influencer sourcing, local creator briefings, and event-specific content plans
  • Content formats ranged from recap Reels and event montages to branded interviews with custom ILGM microphones
  • The recap video shows the narrative arc: from single-city hype to a full national story, edited for social with subtitles and pacing that works for vertical scroll

For a Talent PM at For You Agency, this is the closest analog to managing multiple creator activations in parallel, each with its own brief, while keeping the brand story coherent across all of them.

ILGM.com Creator management & content direction

Creator program content

ILGM ran a structured creator program with monthly deliverables, content approval via Upfluence, and performance tracking through custom coupon codes. Each creator produced video, photo, and livestream content documenting their grow journey.

What this project shows

Managing creators isn't just sending briefs. It's building a content system where every creator has room to be authentic while still delivering on brand.

  • Creator testimonials were filmed in-context (at events, in their spaces) rather than in studio, keeping the tone genuine and platform-native
  • The branded ILGM microphone in event interviews is a small detail that does heavy brand work without breaking the conversational feel
  • Grow journey content followed creators over months, building narrative continuity that drives subscriber retention, not just one-off views

This is the same muscle that a Talent PM uses daily: managing multiple creator relationships in parallel, ensuring quality and consistency without killing authenticity.

ILGM.com Content format development

Brand content & visual identity

As part of the rebrand from seed bank to community platform, new content formats were developed across social channels. The visual language shifted to cinematic, warm, and accessible.

What this project shows

The rebrand needed content that felt different from the old ILGM without alienating the existing community. The answer was production quality that punches above typical social content, combined with an editorial voice that stays warm and approachable.

  • Macro photography and shallow depth-of-field set these apart from user-generated grow content, positioning ILGM as the premium reference point
  • Bold text overlays with the new brand typography carry the message even with sound off, which is how most social content gets consumed
  • These formats were designed to work as both standalone Reels and as building blocks in longer carousel or YouTube content

For talent management, this demonstrates the ability to translate a brand strategy into concrete visual formats that perform on social.

Social Vikingz Agency campaign management

Client content: Tuinmaterialen.nl

Agency-side branded content produced for Tuinmaterialen.nl during the Social Vikingz period. Concept, scripting, and production coordination for social-first product demos.

Product demo: outdoor living
Product demo: epoxy solutions

What this project shows

Different context, same core skill: turning a product into watchable social content. These videos were built for a Dutch B2C audience with a direct, practical tone.

  • Presenter-led format keeps the content personal and scroll-stopping. The presenter speaks directly to camera in Dutch with subtitles, matching the platform conventions for vertical product content
  • Each video answers one specific question the customer already has ("Wil je buiten zitten maar niet in de felle zon?"), driving both watch time and purchase intent
  • Shot on location (garden, warehouse) rather than studio, keeping production lean and the feel authentic

This is agency work: taking a client brief, finding the right format, coordinating the shoot, and delivering content that works on the platform it's made for.

What this project shows

What this project shows

This is production at a different scale: a premium brand with strict quality standards, a polished visual language, and zero margin for error. The kind of work where pre-production planning, logistics, and on-set coordination make the difference between a smooth shoot and a costly reshoot. This experience is directly relevant to the long-form production work that For You's Studios arm does for their talent.
