Generic sourcing tools were not built for this brief.
FishingBooker’s team needed niche independent creatives in specific regions—professionals whose portfolios and specialties matched the actual work, not simply a broad job-title filter. That is not a distinction an off-the-shelf database can reliably make.
Before working with Sourcely, this kind of search consumed several hours of the team’s time for every location, with no guarantee that the final profiles would be usable.
EXAMPLE BRIEFFind relevant creative professionals in a defined market, with the right specialty, public portfolio, location and direct contact details.
Human-led research, not a database export.
We translated each request into concrete inclusion and exclusion criteria, then researched profiles across public portfolios, websites, directories and social platforms. Every record was structured for the client’s workflow before delivery.
Research
Search relevant public sources market by market.
Check
Review each profile against the agreed research criteria.
Deliver
Provide a clean, consistent and outreach-ready spreadsheet.
A collaboration that continued quarter after quarter.
The first delivery matched the brief closely enough that FishingBooker returned with another market and another research need. Sourcely became a repeat research partner, allowing the client’s team to focus on outreach and execution instead of manual discovery.
Time given back
The team no longer needs to spend hours per location manually building every list.
Consistent delivery
Clear criteria and a repeatable research process produce reliable, structured outputs.
Useful prospects
Research is tailored to the exact niche, market and information the team needs.
Long-term value
A single successful project developed into an ongoing collaboration across markets.
