Modern Talent Payroll & Project Management
In the same way that HAILSTORM has modernized advertising business affairs services…
​
HAILSTORM TALENT fundamentally transforms the advertising industry’s handling of talent payroll processing and project management for union and non-union commercial productions.
We're Ditching "Old School"
Time to Work Modern.
Hailstorm Talent is a modern, cloud-based platform that streamlines your entire talent production workflow.
​
From estimates, casting, and booking through contracts, production, talent payments, and rights tracking.
Integrated… Organized… and Secure.

HT’s platform is intuitively designed and easy to navigate.
No engineering degree required.

With digital talent onboarding, everyone’s personally identifiable information is complete, safe, and sound.​
Instead of floating around
who-knows-where.

It’s completely paperless.
No more paper contracts… no more paper checks.
Who doesn’t love trees?

Made to Make Sense
Made by Hailstorm
Information Integrity,
Data Accuracy & Security
MODERN
-
Information integrity starts at project initiation. Data entered in each phase moves ‘downstream’ through subsequent phases, no multiple entries, reducing errors.
-
Completely paperless workflow, talent onboarding, tax docs, and contracts digitally filled, securely transmitted, and e-signed.
-
Automatic notifications sent to talent and BA if information is missing. Payees are prompted to confirm all info is correct before payments are made.
-
All payments made by ACH transfer. Notifications are sent and payments and payment status can be easily tracked by.
OLD SCHOOL
-
Analog information coming in from multiple sources in different formats. Entering data manually in multiple locations is prone to errors.
-
Talent contracts, onboarding, and tax docs are all still on actual paper; they are signed on-set, scanned, and emailed to those who know where. Personal info out in the open and vulnerable.
-
Missing or incorrect information must be manually tracked down, completed, or corrected.
-
Talent, agent, and vendor payments are made by paper check, which are impossible to track. Lost checks require human follow-up and manual reissue.
Everything You Need.
Nothing You Don't.
