Manage episode 476024867 series 3427769
What happens when an illustrator discovers they're awesome at finding clients for other illustrators? For Darren Dilieto, it sparked a 20-year journey building Hireillo, a revolutionary platform connecting illustrators with clients while challenging industry norms.
Darren's story begins in the early 2000s before social media existed, when he created a popular blog called The Little Chimp Society as a central hub for illustrators. Recognizing his talent for networking and connecting artists with opportunities, he transformed this foundation into a membership-based community that offers a refreshing alternative to traditional agencies taking 30% of artists' earnings.
