Found is evolving

It's a whole new ball game, folks.

Check out what's in store

Keith Gentile, CEO

Hi everyone. After 20 years in this business, there’s one thing I can always count on – change. Change in technology, buyer habits, aesthetics... you name it. A lot has happened since Found was launched in 2007, and so we’re pleased to announce some exciting and much-needed changes.

Pushing to the Future

Launching this spring, we are upping the ante; a brand new website, beautifully printed sourcebooks, card decks, portfolio reviews and a slew of new marketing channels. With an expanded team of industry vets led by Frank Meo, our Director and Amanda Sosa Stone, our Photo Director, we will continue to build upon our strengths and increase our presence and outreach within the creative community.

What Does This Mean for You?

The new Found means one thing – more exposure for your business. More of what the buyers want, more ways to help you get noticed, and more services. Here are some of the changes you’ll see:

  1. A new website, designed from the ground up
  2. A switch to speciality-focused galleries
  3. New marketing channels and opportunities
  4. Available consulting, estimating and production services

I’m personally excited to share our new vision with you. If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch. We’re really just getting started and I’m glad to have you on board for this next chapter set to launch in the coming weeks.

Coming Spring 2016

Re- imagined. designed. charged.

A Brand Spankin’ New Website

Sometimes, bigger is better. And this couldn’t be truer than when showcasing your work. That’s why Found is getting a makeover. We’ve redesigned the site from the ground up to make the viewing experience absolutely spectacular. And to make sure every creative sees your pics in the best possible light, it will be responsive too. To top it all off you’ll also get more exposure in your area thanks to a brand new geo-centric search.

Specialty-focused Galleries

Creatives have been telling us what they want – and they want razor-sharp edits that show off your focused body of work. Moving forward, your portfolio will be curated by our team of consultants and production staff to showcase three specialty-focused galleries. With backgrounds from photo editors to reps, we’ve got the experience to help you tell your story in a way that resonates with today’s creatives and ultimately gets you noticed.

New Marketing Channels

You’ve been asking us for more ways to get your name out there – and we’ve heard you loud and clear. We’re excited to announce the addition of highly-personalized marketing services to our line-up, designed to help you maximize your exposure:

The Found Sourcebook

The sourcebook is back: this is a great opportunity to show off your work in print. Sent four times a year to highly targeted buyers, we print these gorgeous books in-house and pass the savings on to you. Our new Pro plan includes one spread, while our Premium and Platinum plans include two and four spreads.

Card Decks

Good marketing is constant marketing, so we supplement our sourcebooks with a super-cool deck of cards. A box of 5”x5” cards, each one featuring an artist and their contact info. We handle all the production and send these four times each year to the same group of creatives.

Portfolio Reviews

Forget about expensive in-person portfolio reviews – we have a better way. There’s no need to worry about carving time out of your schedule, booking airfare or arranging for accommodations because your physical presence is not required. Instead, you simply send us your portfolio and we handle the rest. When the event is over, we pack everything up and ship it back to you. Our new Pro plan includes one review, while our Premium and Platinum plans include two and four reviews.

Outreach

We’re always finding new ways to get your work out there. Whether it be through our partnership with Archive magazine, our growing social platforms or our new series of Projections events, the buzz about Found is building. Creatives are turning to us more and more to source talent and as a result we’re placing more of our artists than ever before.

Consultation, Estimating & Production

Running your own business means you have to wear many hats, even if some don’t fit you well. We’re here to help. Moving forward, Found members will have direct access to consulting, estimating and production services. Our team of industry vets have worked for some of the country’s top agencies – Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett and Greenhouse to name a few. Call on us for anything from branding advice, shoot guidance or even to help you with bidding and negotiating.
