The Founders' story

Why We Built Talent Scout

After 10 years of running our digital marketing agency, we scaled, sold, and successfully exited our business.

One of our biggest unlocks? Hiring full-time creative and marketing talent out of Latin America - not freelancers, but fully embedded team members who delivered high-impact work at 60-70% less than U.S. hires.

But It wasn’t just cost savings. It was better output, faster scale, and real margin growth. After years of building teams this way, we created Talent Scout to help other agency leaders, marketers, and founders do the same. Now we're sharing the exact model we wish we had years ago so you can build high-performing, low-overhead teams without learning it all the hard way.

Built by Founders Who’ve Been in Your Shoes

We scaled our own agency with top Latin America talent. Now we’re helping others do the same, faster and smarter.
