Cleaning House and New Websites

The last few months have been really stressful with a number of family related issues taking precedent but that has not meant we have stopped. As we come to the close of September the plan is to clean house both metaphorically and physically.

In terms of emails we will be clearing out the current accounts and handling the backlog with a view to renegotiating terms and updating approaches with clients which brings us to the next part, we have been developing a digital magazine project that will be online toward the end of the year, it requires a little finessing and a final choice on what it will represent as a whole but it will fall under the established Lost banner we have created which will be primarily run by The Lost Agency, something that we created to handle marketing and management for the inhouse elements of our work.

JamesC will be relaunching a site with a view to a fresh start and a clean slate, his extended break and working on things that have required NDAs or just been with private clients has become the impetus to redevelop his work and take additional training in key areas that will come into their own later with the magazine site and eventually productions under the Lost banner. We have maintained and added to his list of domain names and his new site will reflect the changes he is making to his own work and career.

We appreciate that this may have caused issues in the short term as we have been very quiet and want to thank people for their continued support of the Lost as we push forward.

Expanding our Horizons With The Lost Agency

There is a number of different ways to look at the word agency which is partly why we are using it. It can be referenced to a management service or the idea of self-agency which in psychological terms is taking control of your own life, both are apt in the case of the lost agency. We wanted to have some degree of management and self-rule over our work which is overall what the lost concept is and why we are now bringing in The Lost Agency as part of our business future.

We often talk about the changes that have become part and parcel of the industry (both good and bad) and how commercial makeup, in particular, has become something of a “lost art,” instead the salon/party style is taking over and newer artists are focusing on the more personal side of the industry leaving people who want to work on the more film and TV level or commercial media side lost in the mix which we found frustrating as did some of our actors.

Focusing on the in-house staff we will be managing a small number of people and business elements as part of the ongoing work of The Lost Concept building on the creative, artistic and media work we have already done taking things forward and bringing The Lost Vision to new levels.

At the forefront of this will be our creative director JamesC who will be heading up more of the media elements and being central to the staff requirements for upcoming work taking a stronger more managerial stance and running The Lost Agency whilst simultaneously developing editorials and project work such as TV shows and photographic work for the sites portfolio and marketing needs.

What this means for the future of The Lost Creatives is we will be posting on the blog requirements for crew and looking at offering training positions on our work and tackling larger-scale projects. One of which we are close to finalizing at the moment with some fantastic brands/designers supporting the concept giving us a chance to showcase the creative work of our team.

Later in the year and into 2021, we will also be looking to put forward bids to take a team to London for off-schedule events during fashion week:

“Our plans and any work within the confines of The Lost Agency and affiliated sites/companies will be subject to agreed terms and a code of conduct. “
