About HYPE

HYPE was founded by Shawn Michael, a technological leader and entrepreneur whose mission is to bridge the gap between talented creators and the businesses that need them.

As both a technology innovator and business strategist, Shawn recognized the untapped potential in connecting influencers and models with large and small businesses seeking authentic, engaging marketing partnerships. His vision was to create a platform that not only serves established creators but also provides exciting opportunities for new models breaking into the modeling world.

HYPE represents more than just a talent agency—it's a comprehensive ecosystem designed to empower creators at every stage of their journey. From emerging models looking for their first professional opportunities to established influencers seeking premium brand partnerships, HYPE provides the tools, connections, and support needed to succeed.

Our platform leverages cutting-edge technology to match the right talent with the right opportunities, ensuring that both creators and businesses achieve their goals. Whether it's a local restaurant looking for authentic promotion or a luxury brand seeking high-fashion representation, HYPE facilitates meaningful connections that drive real results.

Today, HYPE continues to grow as the premier destination for elite talent and the businesses that want to work with them, always staying true to Shawn's original mission of creating opportunities and fostering authentic partnerships in the creator economy.
