Book a Photographer in Minutes with the Social Agent App

Need a photographer fast? Social Agent is a new location-based gig app designed for last-minute photo and video requests. The app connects users with trained photographers, videographers, and content creators for same-day bookings.

On-Demand Photography and Videography

Social Agent promises to connect you with an "agent" within 30 minutes, similar to ride-sharing apps. This on-demand service caters to individuals capturing special moments and brands needing quick product shots. Imagine enjoying brunch and having professional photos delivered before you even finish paying!

Pricing and Services

Sessions start at $65 for 30 minutes and $120 for 60 minutes. Packages include 10-15 photos or 5-10 short videos optimized for platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok. Raw content is delivered within 15 minutes, with optional editing services starting at $30. A small service fee of around $5 also applies.

Additional Features

  • On-the-go photo editing
  • Advance booking
  • Split payment options for groups

Competitive Landscape

Social Agent offers a faster and more affordable alternative to traditional photography services. Competitors like Snappr require two hours' notice and deliver edited photos within 48 hours.

Impact on the Gig Economy

Social Agent taps into the growing gig economy, providing opportunities for photographers and videographers to earn extra income. Agents set their own prices and control their schedules. This model addresses the increasing demand for flexible work as the full-time job market evolves.

Agent Vetting and Training

All agents undergo ID verification and background checks. They also complete training modules, including timed photo editing exercises.

Gamified App Experience

The app features a user-friendly interface with a "start mission" button. Gamification elements, such as $100 bonuses for completing ten missions, incentivize agent engagement.

Safety and Trust

Security codes verify agent identity upon arrival. A two-way reporting system and star ratings ensure accountability and build trust between users and agents.

“Social Agent is focused on really building trust between agents and clients,” said Lisa Jammal, founder of Social Agent. “The trust factor is everything.”

Launch and Expansion Plans

The app launches on the App Store in June, starting in Los Angeles, with plans to expand to other major US cities and internationally. Future features include in-app editing tools and a premium subscription model.

Social Agent has secured $2 million in funding from family and friends.
