For nearly two decades, we’ve used our platform to champion artists, illustrators, and photographers from around the world, featuring thousands of creators across our channels and helping their work reach millions of people. We’ve earned industry-wide respect for our taste in art and a reputation for discovering talent before they’ve hit it big. What’s not widely known is that there’s a whole other side to what we do—one that has grown naturally out of the relationships, trust, and community we’ve built.

We collaborate with brands, publishers, creative teams, cultural spaces, and institutions on a wide range of projects. Brought in for talent discovery and curation, we’re often asked to find the right people for specific briefs and have handled everything from art buying to festival programming. We also help partners shape campaigns that feel thoughtful, creative, and relevant, as well as develop original projects from the ground up.

Launching Booooooom Studio is our way of making the work we’ve already been doing more official and, ideally, get a lot more of you involved.

The studio site will make it easier for brands and creative partners to see how they can work with us. Whether that means sponsoring one of our existing initiatives or working together to share a story, product, or resource that will resonate with our audience.

Our hope is that by formalizing this side of things, we can create more opportunities to pass directly on to you—the people in our community whose work is the reason we’re still doing this.

For anyone interested in getting more involved with us, we’re currently looking to fill some freelance roles. We’re also inviting artists, photographers, and illustrators looking for commissions or paid opportunities to add their names to the Booooooom Talent Pool, an internal resource that will help us keep track of creatives to consider for future client and partner recommendations. It is free to join.

If you work for a brand, publisher, agency, cultural space, or institution looking to commission, engage, reach, or connect with creatives in more thoughtful ways, we’d love to connect with you too!

At the root of all of this is what has always driven Booooooom: fostering the next wave of talent creating thoughtful, human work with truly distinct perspectives. In a world that is becoming more automated and completely overrun with sameness, that mission feels more important than ever.

Thanks for being here with us all these years, and we hope you’re as excited as we are for what comes next!
