Scenebot, Inc. combined its two thriving platforms, Scenebot and Scenebot STAGE, to form a new app, STAGE. With over 300,000 combined users and a team of top professionals in the entertainment industry, STAGE is changing the way talent is discovered online.

We provide a dynamic, global platform, available from any device, to a new generation of entertainers and artists who exist online. STAGE is a safe haven for artists to showcase their talents to fans and over 125 top entertainment industry professionals.
The entertainment industry has proven to be a daunting sector to navigate. Oftentimes, entertainers are charged exorbitant fees just for the opportunity to be seen by industry pros! Current challenges for artists include:
Created by Stuart Alexander and Krisha Bullock, a top youth casting director, Scenebot was created to help artists avoid high cost showcases and cattle calls and give them a free, safe alternative to perform for legitimate industry pros and help jumpstart their careers.
While we believe that it is valuable for artists to pay for proper training, we don’t believe anyone should have to pay to get seen!
Our content creation discovery feed provides artists the ability to grow their fan base and be scouted by top industry pros. Industry professionals can search the platform for trending and popular users to sign and represent.

We are currently working with a top marketing firm, who has successfully grown over 2,100 brands! The full-service marketing agency plans to assist Scenebot in the preparation of an aggressive growth marketing strategy to drive user acquisition, supported by organic and word-of-mouth discovery.
