It was fantastic to see our agency featured on national television. The segment showed what happens behind the scenes. It covered how we source, train and place animal talent in TV, film and advertising.
The Rise of Animal Talent
The animal talent industry is growing fast. More brands now use trained animals in campaigns. They help bring stories to life. They also create strong audience engagement.
Our founder Layla Flaherty shared an insight during the feature. Some animals can earn up to £1,000 a day depending on the job. This reflects their training, temperament and professionalism. Only well-prepared animals can work safely on set.
