2026 is a year of accomplishments at The Hype! Agency. We are celebrating 20 years of bringing brands to life through incredible events, talented people, and unforgettable experiences. And what better way to celebrate two decades of Hype! than by taking another step forward?
Introducing the Hype! Talent App!
As we celebrate how far we have come, we are also looking ahead to what is next. We have built a lot over the past 20 years, and one thing has always stayed the same: our commitment to our talent, our clients, and the people who make every activation possible. The new app is another way we are building on that commitment, making it easier to stay connected, access opportunities, and keep things moving.
So, do not worry. We are still us… only better!
Making the Talent Experience Easier
Our talent can now log in directly from their phones to view job opportunities, check upcoming shifts, and stay up to date on important communications. With push notifications, talent can be alerted when they have been offered a job or when there is an update they need to see.
We want our talent to have the tools they need to get into their workday without having to worry about the rest. By bringing important information and communication into one convenient place, we can reduce the extra steps involved in logging into a browser, navigating different tabs, and keeping track of updates across multiple channels.
Better Communication, From Offer to Activation
We know that event details can change, sometimes right up to the day of an activation. When that happens, getting information to the right people quickly matters.
With the Hype! Talent App, our team can send mass notifications when updates need to be shared and communicate with individuals directly through the app. This gives us another way to keep everyone informed without relying solely on text messages or hoping an email is seen at the right time.
Email is still an important part of how we work, especially when sharing final event details and more comprehensive instructions. The app simply gives us another way to keep communication moving and help our talent stay connected with the Hype! team.
A More Efficient Process for Our Clients and Our Team
While our clients do not use the app themselves, they benefit from the improvements it brings to our staffing process. When talent can see job offers and notifications more quickly, our team can identify available candidates, build candidate pools, and move through staffing processes more efficiently.
The app helps our team identify potential gaps before an activation, giving our team more time to follow up and prepare. By making communication and information easier to access, we can spend less time tracking down responses and more time finding the right talent for our clients.
The benefits continue after an event, too. Time-entry reminders help talent stay on top of submitting their hours, giving our team more complete information to work with when reviewing and completing timesheets. This means less time spent chasing missing hours and following up on outstanding information, while creating more opportunities to automate steps in our internal workflow.
Every improvement matters. When we can save time, reduce unnecessary back-and-forth, and get the right information to the right people, we can spend more time focusing on what we do best: supporting our talent and delivering for our clients.
