S8, EP 6: Darren Dilieto and His Journey Creating Hireillo

Send a textWhat 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.Find Darren Here:facebook.com/hireilloillo.social/@hireilloinstagram.com/hireillolinkedin.com/company/hireillowww.hireillo.com Support the showBuy me a coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/oflm7nxb75Support the show here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2093624/supportInstagram: @stylitch_chatswithcreatives / @stylitch
