Your profile is your first impression—make it count. Listing yourself on Sustainalists is the first step in allowing media companies searching for local talent to find you. Optimizing your profile to stand out opens the door to new opportunities. A clear, professional, and engaging profile increases your chances of landing assignments.
Here’s how to make your profile the best it can be:
A complete profile builds trust. Fill out all essential details—your name, the city you are based in, and your contact information. A well-rounded profile signals reliability to potential clients.
Showcase your work with a selection of high-quality samples that align with your expertise. A strong portfolio should include your best projects, previous publishers you’ve worked with, a showreel video if applicable, and good-quality images that show you on assignment.
A compelling bio helps clients understand who you are and what you bring to the table. Keep it concise, highlight your strengths, and tailor it to the type of work you’re seeking.
Visual presentation matters. Use a high-quality profile photo that looks professional and approachable. A well-chosen cover image can reinforce your personality and skills.
Clearly list your key skills and the types of assignments you are confident working with—so clients can quickly identify your expertise. Add the languages you speak and the equipment you have easy access to.
Your profile should clearly explain what you do, how you work, and why clients should hire you. Keep it clear, confident, and free of unnecessary fluff. Update it regularly with new work, skills, and achievements to stay relevant.
Client reviews and references add credibility. Ask past clients for feedback, and have references ready for private discussions when needed.
