5 Things to Update Before the New Year


The new year will bring new opportunities. There’s no better time to make sure your marketing materials are ready for whatever comes next!

Whether you’re an actor preparing for your next audition, a parent managing your young performer’s career, or a small business owner looking to grow, a few simple updates can help you put your best foot forward.

Here are 5 things to check off your year-end marketing to-do list before the holidays are underway:

1. Update Your Resume

Have you booked a new role, learned a new skill, or added an exciting credit this year? Make sure your resume reflects your latest accomplishments and is ready to share when an opportunity comes along.

2. Refresh Your Headshots & Reels

Do your headshots still represent you? Are your reels showcasing your strongest and most recent work? Take a few minutes to review your materials and make sure they’re current, professional, and easy to access.

3. Review Your Website

Your website is often the first impression you make online. Check that your credits, bio, photos, videos, and contact information are up to date. If your website no longer reflects where you are in your career, it might be time for a refresh!

4. Check Your Casting Profiles & Social Links

Make sure your casting profiles, professional social media accounts, and website links are consistent and current. Little details matter, especially when you want industry professionals or potential clients to find you easily.

5. Set Your Marketing Goals for the New Year

What do you want to accomplish in the year ahead? Whether it’s launching a professional website, refreshing your branding, or giving your business a more polished online presence, now is the perfect time to make a plan.
