Build more.
Stay independent.
Join an operating ecosystem that gives independent productions the brand-partnership and ad-sales support they usually cannot afford - and gives experienced professionals the tools, team, credit, and opportunity flow to do more without carrying it all alone.
The relationship engine behind entertainment partnerships.
Independent productions deserve the same brand-partnership and ad-sales capability that television and streaming networks have - without having to build that team from scratch.
HB starts with the brand, builds the partnership, manages the work, and stays involved long enough to turn an initial integration into a larger marketing and monetization opportunity.
The outside ad-sales team you never had.
Free registration brings a film, series, or production into the HB ecosystem. Our team and partner network help package it, target brands, build customized concepts by brand so both sides can visualize the fit, and manage the active conversations. The same tools work in reverse, helping production teams see the categories, brands, and partnership ideas that may be right for their project.
Because HB begins with the brand early, we can structure partnerships that grow into co-promotion, retail, publicity, creator work, experiential, and media support - including opportunities studios and distribution partners can later monetize or amplify around release.
From development through distribution - and beyond.
Rights, needs, timing, audience, categories, and what is sellable.
Customized ideas, targeting, outreach, and brand conversations.
Approvals, contracting, logistics, production coordination, and delivery.
Release, PR, retail, creator, events, co-promotion, and media support.
Awards season, licensing, sequels, and continued brand work.
Three ways to create business - and participate in it.
Bring a production
Register a production, then use HB’s partnership and ad-sales engine to create integrations, activation, and longer-term extensions.
Bring a brand
Bring a brand into the system and match it to any appropriate active HB project, even when you are not the production-side lead.
Build a subscription
When a brand joins HB’s subscription platform, HB and partners proactively source and manage opportunities beyond any one production. Originators participate in appropriate resulting business.
You lead the work that needs you. HB carries the rest.

Bring in relationships. Build a team. Keep credit for the value you create.
Every member helps bring brands, productions, and opportunities into the ecosystem. Relationships are registered and tracked so the people who source and nurture them have clear participation as appropriate business grows.
Once you are part of the system, we welcome introductions, collaboration across the active slate, and mentoring your own team within the network. The goal is to give your relationships a stronger engine behind them - not absorb them.
Simple to enter. Structured once work begins.
Share background, specialties, relationships, and availability through Bamboo.
We identify where experience, relationships, and active opportunities connect.
Before work begins, clarify scope, lead role, relationship credit, participation, and support.
Work inside the HB system with the right team around the opportunity.
The practical questions.
Is this a full-time job?
Not necessarily. The model is designed to support independent professionals. Work may begin project by project, with clear scopes, responsibilities, and compensation.
Am I expected to bring in brands and productions?
Yes. Everyone helps build the ecosystem. HB provides the platform, tools, team, and support structure around the work.
Can I pitch a brand to an active project I am not personally representing?
Yes. Once in the network, you can introduce an appropriate brand to any active HB project. Relationship source and participation are documented through the process.
What happens when I introduce a brand that joins the HB subscription platform?
The relationship is recorded in the HB ecosystem so there is visibility, continuity, and a shared process for building appropriate future opportunities around the brand.
What does HB handle?
HB provides legal and contracting coordination, deal structure, project systems, outreach support, AI-assisted materials and targeting, support staff, and marketing extensions through release and beyond.
How are my relationships protected?
Brands and productions are registered into the system, with the source relationship and role documented early. We are building the rules to make that credit visible and reward appropriate future business.
