Managing talent
Talents and a creator's page
On the web
Talents is the roster as a wall of faces. Add a creator takes a name and every account they have, on any platform: the ones MORR can read bring the picture and follower count along. Open a card for the manager's view of one person.

- 1Add a creatorType their name, then their accounts: pick a platform, type the handle, and add another for each account they run. Instagram, TikTok and YouTube handles are looked up as you go and fill in the name, picture and follower count; a Facebook page, a Twitch channel or any other account is filed as typed. The card on the right is what the roster will show. A name alone is enough to save.
- 2Invite them to claimOn their card or their page: Invite to claim sends an email. Once they accept, the card turns On MORR and their shared numbers start flowing.
- 3Open their workspaceThe button at the top of their page seats you in the creator's own MORR: the manager's view here, the creator's view there.
A creator's page
| Tab | What is on it |
|---|---|
| Overview | The planning center: one creator's whole operation as cards. This week, the outlook, their accounts, shoots and days with crew and travel, flights and hotels, everybody on them, their contacts, prep notes with follow-ups, deals, releases, who they are, best posts and files. Every card opens into the tab or screen that owns it. The cards are described below |
| Profile | Who they are in the team's own words, the playbook in six sections, the monthly outlook, and which of your people are on them. The four panels are described below |
| Activity | What is going out next with Approve and Ask for a change beside each post, and what they have been doing: posts out, cards moving, the page edited, and every answer the company gave. Only the areas they share |
| Content | Their best recent posts, follower line, accounts and BioLink numbers: measured when they share Analytics, public otherwise |
| Rates | The rate card: one line per thing a brand can buy, with the platform and price. Deals quote from here |
| Their team | Their manager, publicist, lawyer or business manager from the book, each with only the routes their role needs |
| Files | The management agreement, tax forms, passport and travel documents. Every open of a contract is logged. The whole company's shelf is under Files in the sidebar |
| Details | Legal name, phone, address, birthday, sizes, dietary and an emergency contact. Read by owners, agents and assistants; never by finance |
The planning center
The Overview tab is where a creator's team lives. It is built for the week a creator has a shoot in one city, a speech in another and a song coming out on Friday: everything and everybody they need, on one screen, with the small things done in place.
| Card | What it is for |
|---|---|
| This week | Posts going out and days booked in the next seven days, in one list, in order |
| Outlook | What they bring in a month, the goal, and the run rate. Hidden from roles that cannot read money |
| Accounts | Every handle with its followers. Add or remove one right here |
| Shoots and days | The next bookings with the call time, how many crew, and whether flights and a hotel are set |
| Travel | Every flight and hotel on their upcoming bookings, so a manager on the road has it in one place |
| Everybody you need | The company's people on this creator and the creator's own team, each with a way to reach them |
| Contacts | The people who matter around this creator, starred, with the last touch. Touched logs a contact today; add a person in place |
| Prep and notes | What they are working toward in their pipeline, and the team's notes with follow-up dates. The speech topic, the script prep, the thing to remember before the call |
| Deals | Open deals and the deliverables due soonest |
| Releases | Their songs, from their own page: the day, the services, the pre-saves. See Release |
| Brand work | Their latest Jobs applications, posts owed and brand messages. See Brand work |
| Comments into sales | Set a word that answers their comments publicly or captures a lead, and read the run log. See Comments into sales |
| Who they are | The first lines of the profile, which playbook sections are filled, and where they are based and tagged |
| Best posts | Four, measured when they share Analytics |
| Files | What is on file by kind, and how far along they are in joining MORR |
The profile
The Profile tab is the page a new agent reads first. It is the team's own account of a creator, so a handover is a tab, not a call.
| Panel | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Who they are | Three lines in the team's words: where they came from, what they are known for, what they want out of this |
| Playbook | Six sections, each with its own question when empty: who they are, what they sell, what works, who follows them, rules of the road, this quarter. Fill in what you know; the rest keeps asking |
| Outlook | What they bring in a month now and the number the team is working toward, with a bar between. Under it, read from their deals: a month this year, earned this year, in the pipeline. Set by the owner or an agent; read by finance; never shown to an assistant |
| On your team | Which of the company's people work this creator: one lead, then agents and assistants. It shows on their card on Talents, so everyone knows who to ask. Placed by the owner or an agent |
Seeing what they do, and answering a post
A creator who has claimed their workspace decides what the company sees, switch by switch, under Your management company in their own Settings: Calendar, Pipeline, Analytics, Deals, Money and BioLink insights. Their Activity tab is built from those switches and nothing else, so a switch turned off is off the same minute, on the tab, on the dashboard and in Ask.

- 1ApproveOne press. The post keeps its time; the creator sees the approval as a comment on the post and gets a notification. The dashboard and the tab show it as answered.
- 2Ask for a changeSay what in one line. It lands as a comment in the creator's own thread on that post, with a notification, so they read it where they already read notes. Nothing on the post itself changes; that stays theirs.
- 3Read the timelineNewest first, grouped by day: posted, scheduled, did not go out, a card moved, the page edited, and who on the company answered what. A post that went live opens where it lives.
