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.

Every creative career has humble beginnings. For videographer Marcus Brooks, it was a Sony Ericsson flip phone with a basic video editor that sparked a lifelong passion. That early fascination with piecing together clips evolved through experimental YouTube videos, technical education, and eventually, full-time freelance work filming everything from charity events to feature documentaries.
