At A Glance
The case study of the Talent Playlist covers a feature we developed as part of the Foam platform. Foam is a B2B platform developed by Whalar for its own team of creator managers. Whalar is an agency specializing in content creators and social media. Foam streamlines the pitching process for managers and enables more efficient deal negotiations, helping turn creators’ potential into real business opportunities.

Problem

Managers needed to share creator lists with brands, whether it was their personal list, the agency’s roster, or themed lists.

However, they were using external tools like Excel or Airtable, which required manual updates, lacked collaboration features, and weren’t visually appealing.

‍

Goals

Centralize list creation and management within Foam

Keep social metrics automatically up to date

Improve presentation quality for brands

Enable collaboration between managers

Solution

Based on the insights gathered during the research phase, we defined the key features the new Talent Playlists tool needed to address the managers’ real needs:

List management by type: Personal, Agency and collaborative lists

Essential information for each creator, and possibility to add notes per talent

Multiple display modes: list view and a visual content view

Flexibility in list creation and collaboration with teammates (and create based in filters)
