Elenco Digital

What Elenco Digital does

Elenco Digital, operated by Sistemaz Soluções Digitais Ltda, is a Brazilian web-based SaaS casting platform that connects talent (actors, models, performers), accredited talent agencies, and casting directors in the Brazilian audiovisual industry. Founded in 2011 by casting director Zeca Ferreira as an internal workflow tool and launched publicly in 2016, it has become the first large-scale casting platform in Brazil, hosting 250k+ registered talent profiles, 1.3k+ accredited agencies, and 60+ active casting directors, with 6.5k+ projects facilitated across cinema, television, streaming, and advertising productions.

The platform's core technology is a centralized talent database with workflow tools for each user type: talent dashboards for profile management, agency dashboards with a paid Módulo PRO module for portfolio management, and director dashboards for casting project management including search, statistics, reports, and document validation. The architecture is split across dedicated URLs (elencodigital.com.br, dash.elencodigital.com.br, elenco.elencodigital.com.br) with separate login flows and a dedicated help center and LGPD-compliant privacy controls.

Revenue is generated through three subscription streams: Elenco Premium for talent seeking enhanced visibility, Módulo PRO for agencies managing represented talent, and paid director plans (no free tier, typically annual billing). Basic access for talent and agencies is free, supporting a freemium growth model that funnels the largest part of the user base toward paid upgrades. The company is bootstrapped, private, and headquartered in São Paulo, with no external funding disclosed.
