Stop Searching. Start Creating. Hire a Media Sourcing VA
Searching for the perfect, royalty-free image eats up hours of your day. Hire a vetted Virtual Assistant to curate, tag, and license high-quality visuals for your content—overseen by a dedicated Project Manager at no extra cost.
Proficient in Top Photo & Media Platforms
Protect Your Brand & Save Your Time
Your creatives should be focusing on design and strategy, not digging through page 40 of a stock photo site. Let a specialized VA handle the entire image procurement pipeline.
Visual Curation & Mood Boards
Translating your creative briefs into curated batches of images. We find photos that perfectly align with your brand's unique color palette and aesthetic.
License Management
Protecting you from copyright strikes. We strictly manage Editorial vs. Commercial licenses, ensuring you only use images legally cleared for your specific use case.
Metadata & Tagging
Organizing chaotic Google Drive or Dropbox folders. We rename files, add descriptive metadata, and create logical folder structures so you can find assets instantly.
Formatting & Resizing
Preparing images for web and social media. Your VA can handle basic Lightroom color correction, cropping to specific aspect ratios, and WebP compression for site speed.
Diversity & Inclusion Sourcing
Intentionally seeking out authentic, non-cliché imagery that reflects diverse demographics, ensuring your content resonates with a global audience.
Niche Asset Hunting
Struggling to find hyper-specific industry photos? We hunt through premium archives, historical databases, and specialized stock sites to find the exact image you need.
Single Point of Contact
Send your creative brief to your PM; they direct and manage the VA's daily sourcing.
No Platform Fees
Avoid the 20-40% markups of freelance sites. Pay only for actual working hours.
Centralised Tracking
Granular reports ensure you know exactly how long research and tagging took.
Quality Assurance
Your PM reviews the curated folders to ensure aesthetics and licenses are 100% correct.
Scale Your Agency Without the Overhead
Managing an assistant to find photos shouldn't take more time than finding them yourself. That defeats the entire purpose.
