Burō Talent, is known as a global executive search and recruitment agency, placing high-level creative, product and marketing talent with brands.
Over the last few years, Damian Chiam and Janou Pakter, the partners, have evolved their business model. In addition to providing executive search, they have formed long-term trusted partnerships with their clients to include consulting for global brands, creating partnerships and alliances, advising on brand perception, market trends, and how to attract the best talent. This business looks more like a Hollywood agent representation model, where Buro Talent understands what top talent is looking for, what interests them, how to attract them and keep them engaged - extremely valuable information for their clients. With the evolution of work, an increasing number of executives are open to short- and long-term projects, not just traditional full-time roles.
Our clients trust us and rely on us because we are deeply connected in the fashion/beauty, lifestyle and retail industries and represent a global network of top executive creative and marketing talent. Our reputation in the industry is such that when we reach out to top talent, they immediately respond.
While we represent independent, freelance and full-time talent, we also act as agents for consultancies, small brands, and agencies looking for strategic acquisitions, partnerships and alliances.
Traditionally, PE and VC firms are typically focused on the numbers and quick exits. What makes a brand unique and ultimately drives profitability lies in design. Unfortunately, PE and VC firms don't always realize or prioritize the intangible and unique value of a brand.
As we know, building a brand and what it takes to power creativity is nuanced and takes time. However, the investment into creativity is quite often the differentiator in what elevates a brand and preserves its longevity.
Because of the initial misalignment/understanding of what investors perceive as valuable, Burō Talent has been approached by agencies and consultancies to introduce them to potential investors or brands for acquisition/partnerships. They trust that we know the right acquisition/strategic partners for their brand, and that we can articulate how their unique value and positioning makes them a lucrative target.
