Intellectual Talent

Frequently asked questions

Expertise comes first. Learn how to apply, request an expert, and work with our talent.

Is the network open now?

We’re building our founding roster and welcome applications from experts across medicine, law, finance, business, academia, media, and the arts.

Do I need a big social media following?

No. You don’t have to be an influencer to have influence. We select experts for their qualifications, credibility, and ability to communicate, rather than follower counts.

How do I join?

Apply through our website with your background, credentials, areas of expertise, and published work or media samples. We review applications individually for relevant experience and communication skills. Selected applicants may be considered for relevant opportunities.

I’m a journalist. How do I find an expert?

Submit a request with your topic, outlet, format, deadline, and time zone. We assess requests based on expertise and availability to help identify a suitable expert.

How do brands work with your experts?

Brands and agencies can request experts for campaigns, sponsored content, speaking engagements, and ambassador roles. We coordinate talent matching and engagement terms, including applicable sponsorship disclosures.

Do you guarantee media coverage or brand deals?

No. We connect, prepare, and advocate for our experts, but coverage, rankings, and paid work are never guaranteed.

Can I still work with brands or media on my own?

Any exclusivity, commissions, and obligations are defined in your individual representation agreement. Review those terms with us before accepting an engagement if you are unsure how they apply.
