Est. Dallas — 2026
The Collective by ELS.
A community to connect curated models and content creators with opportunities — shoots, brand activations, creator events, and UGC/creator content creation.
THIS IS A CREATIVE COMMUNITY. It’s not just for models & creators. It’s for social media creatives, social media managers, models, photographers, videographers, editors, graphic designers, and everyone shaping the future of content.

Created for the Next Generation of Talent
Not a talent agency. A creative community.
ELS exists to give people access to meaningful opportunities—from campaigns and content days to exclusive events and brand partnerships.
Every member is carefully reviewed, creating a trusted network where both talent and brands can thrive.
What's possible inside
New features, real connection.
Join conversations, ask questions, celebrate wins, collaborate on shoots, and meet creators who genuinely want to see you succeed… and more.
A Note from Emily
I created ELS because I saw incredibly talented people struggling to find the right opportunities—and brands struggling to find reliable, high-quality talent.
This isn't just another casting platform. It's a curated community designed to help creators and models build their portfolios, make meaningful connections, and access opportunities that help move their careers forward.
