Our Agency
First thing's first, COLLABORATION OVER COMPETITION. This is what pumps blood through the veins of Queen Cartel. We are focused on changing the narrative of the creative industry and bringing some attention back to good 'ol teamwork. Imagine this; you just finished recording a song and need a music video to follow. You remember you met a videographer at a Queen Cartel event. He just so happens to know a stylist, who knows an actress/model, who knows a graphic designer, who are all willing to work together on your music video. And just like that you have a team who's ready to grind.
Queen Cartel's main goal is to build a network of creatives whose purpose is to support each other and our community through our talents. In our community, we have seen too much competition get in the way of genuine creativity. Whether you're a singer, writer, or designer, the one thing we all have in common is the fact that we all began our journey with genuine love for our art. Queen Cartel hopes to reignite that spark within all of us through inspiration and collaboration.
