BEHIND THE SCENES OF A FAIRYTALE COLABORATION: ALDO X DISNEY X NEILSON LETTERS

Subcontracting in the Creative Event Industry

You know, when I first started talking publicly about subcontracting, I wasn’t expecting the kind of response I got.
My DMs lit up.
I heard from artists who had worked full events and weren’t even allowed to say their name to clients. People told me they felt disposable. Like background help. Not professionals.
And that hit a nerve with me—because I’ve been on both sides. I’ve been the one hired, and I’ve been the one doing the hiring.
So today, I want to write about what subcontracting actually looks like in our creative world—and what fairness really means.
