I achieved success in the industry appearing in movies and commercials, but became frustrated with waiting for auditions & my talent agency to find work to advance my career. There was no safe or reliable place I could go to secure jobs utilizing my skills as a performer, so she decided to start a business to solve the problem. Castango is online job marketplace for Actors, Models, Influencers & Talent. I built & launched this platform based on my first hand experience and the overwhelming need for talent and employers to connect directly without the middle person. Castango streamlines the casting process saving time and money by utilizing the power of technology.
