A new model for creative partnerships

About

Act II offers a new model for creative partnerships – where brands and agencies alike access versatile, multi-hyphenate talent, and artists receive the support they deserve.

For the brand

For brands, we simplify collaboration by booking artists who can conceptualize, direct, perform, and promote — reducing the need to hire multiple specialists, cutting costs, and streamlining production without compromising on creative integrity.

  • Multi-hyphenate talent, curated for vision

    Each artist on our roster brings layered storytelling — performance, direction, styling, and strategy — delivered with polish.

  • Creative matching, backed by industry experience

    With over a decade of producing global campaigns and top-tier editorials, we know what creative leads need — and pair you with talent who speak your language.

  • Streamlined production, start to finish

    We flex to your bandwidth and simplify your workflows — from pitch decks to final files, we deliver efficiently and artfully.

  • Long-term creative advisory & retainers

    We offer tiered retainers with talent access, content consulting, and strategic alignment — powering your brand into what’s next.

  • Representation beyond one label

    You’re not just a photographer or a stylist or a director—we represent the full spectrum of what you do.

  • Creative development & packaging

    We help you shape your pitch, hone your story, and present your capabilities across mediums — so clients see your creative range, not just a siloed skillset.

  • Brand deal strategy & negotiation

    We negotiate bookings that span your full vision and value — earning on a commission-based model that scales with your success.

  • Digital presence management

    From content pacing to platform strategy, we keep you aligned with both your audience and the algorithm.

For the artist

​For artists, we provide representation that reflects the full scope of their abilities — nurturing long-term growth, expanding their reach, and ensuring they’re seen, valued, and supported as whole creatives.

Services

We help brands partner with artists who move across mediums, not in silos. Our support systems are built for agility, cohesion, and creative clarity — so you can move faster with fewer compromises.

Visionary Artist Matchmaking

One artist, many outputs. We help brands do more with less by connecting them to multi-hyphenate talent who can shoot, direct, style, or concept — often in one go.

Why hire four people when one visionary can shape the work from end to end?

Standing out in a creative market

In a world where creative talent is too often boxed in, Act II champions the whole artist. We don’t divide by title — photographer, director, producer — we represent visionaries who work across disciplines. We help brands move faster, more cohesively, and with less compromise.

We don’t just represent talent. We build the platforms where creative work actually gets done.

Meet our founder

Nicholas Alvoeiro

After over a decade producing global campaigns for brands like Estée Lauder, La Mer, and Stuart Weitzman — and crafting editorial stories for ELLE, Marie Claire, and Interview — I began to feel boxed in by the old script.

With a background in theatre and a passion for storytelling, I’ve always gravitated toward artists who wear many hats — those who move fluidly between mediums, disciplines, and identities.

This agency is my Act II: a shift from building others’ visions to championing artists who defy easy definition. Here, we represent multi-hyphenate talent with depth, intention, and the freedom to grow, reimagine, and rewrite the rules.
