• A range of regional accents.

• A mix of genders, ethnicities, and personality types.

• Warm and likeable

Confident on camera

Characterful and charismatic

Natural storyteller

Modern, diverse lifestyles

• We need glasses wearers who haven’t tried or gotten on with contacts before (prescription allowing), so we’re portraying a genuine experience.

• Ask early on in casting process "Is there a clinical reason you can't wear contact lenses?"

• Ideally, they would be comedy creators who do skits and can also be naturalistic. Funny but real.

• Improvisation is key. Their experience won’t be scripted.

• Detailed background checks for broadcast required and to be completed on final talent selection.

• Preference to include an Irish creator if possible to future proof for their possible use.

We require our content creators to film themselves putting in contact lenses for the first time at home.

The number one thing we are looking for is a feeling of authenticity, that this was a real moment, warts and all, that they captured on their phones.

It's important that our characters have a natural charm and a comedic edge. They should ooze personality and have an instant likability. We want them to be completely themselves, including wearing their own clothes, in their own home, so the content feels true to who they are.

These funny but relatable reactions will help our uncertain customers see that it’s normal for their first experience to be awkward. These will be cut into a montage film and may be used individually for other social content.
Salary
This is a bit of a weird one as monies will be dependent upon number of followers and number of posts. The social influencer company will be in touch with you directly about this if they go for one of your clients
Age
45 - 59
