The company represents approximately 31 Dutch content creators, influencers, and media personalities across verticals including food, entertainment, sports, travel, music, comedy, magic, documentaries, and lifestyle.

Identified talent managers include Victor van der Drift, Sam van Heusden, Toon van den Heuvel, Anouk Kroon, Nico Fliervoet, and Sam van Leeuwen, and the company is actively recruiting additional staff.

The agency's service offering spans three integrated lines: (1) Talent Management — exclusive representation and career development for its roster; (2) Content Productions — social media content for Instagram and TikTok plus branded formats for YouTube, streamers, and broadcasters, executed via an in-house creative department supplemented by a freelance pool; and (3) a Speakers Bureau — booking of represented talent for corporate events. Notable commissioned formats include 'De Goudhaantjes' (VriendenLoterij), 'De Stijn, Tobi & Jeppe Show' (co-produced with Podimo), and original IP 'De Tatta's' (Luuk Ornstein). No proprietary technology platform, API, or software product is disclosed.

Commercially, Het Collectief is a sales-led B2B agency generating revenue from transaction-based honorariums charged to enterprise brand clients for promotional services, branded content, and long-term ambassador engagements. Documented enterprise clients include Rabobank, KPN, VriendenLoterij, Albert Heijn, Podimo, and STËLZ, several on multi-year always-on terms. Pricing is negotiated per engagement, payments are typically collected in advance of service delivery, and no public pricing exists. Distribution is exclusively direct-client engagement within the Dutch market.
