Restructuring The Lost

With our two blogs (Lost Creatives on the professional side and Lost Project on the consumer), our creative director JamesC, and a new site in the wings, the overall concept of The Lost as we started it has grown in the last 2 years into a much bigger and much more refined business that while it was our plan, is still surprising how things have changed for the better. In the next few weeks, we will be adding heavily to the various galleries we have of our work and making amendments to the overall layout and general themes of our work to better fit what we feel in the direction we are heading in. What this means is we will be changing a few of the frequently asked questions, designated accounts, and announcing the longer-term plans and goals of how we will progress in business terms including that of our base location.

*We did consider an office but in the current climate that seems like a redundant step that would be overly complicated and serve no purpose for what is coming into play.

Admittedly many of the changes will be small and have a minimal effect on the business there is something larger that will be taking public soon that focuses heavily on the vision of founder, creative director, and head of makeup JamesC, who has led the charge on the basis of “be the change you want to see.” Creating The Lost and carefully selecting who we work with, researching and planning, taking additional training as and when required, he has taken the lead on the business and we do want to offer a nod to the Nepal Film Production team who have offered up several opportunities and been a huge supporter of the work we are doing.

In an industry that is evolving and changing we fully intend to make the most of the digital landscape in whatever format we can and we are taking steps to ensure that our work is seen in the best possible light with more updates on this coming soon we are really excited about the future of The Lost.

JamesC Makeup artist and Creative Director

It has been just over a year since JamesC took down his website and took a break from the world of media and fashion, focusing his energies on the blogs and building up The Lost Concept (for which the team is extremely grateful) but we all decided that it was long overdue that he came back. With new commercial projects and plans in motion, we needed our creative director standing tall and being showcased.

We have been planning this for several months and carefully selected from his previous work for the new site, showcasing only the pieces we felt were the best illustration of his work creatively and offering a starting point to what will be a resurgence in the commercial aspect of his and our business.

The team is really excited about the prospects of this and with our Lost Photo and Video project being planned strategically (for further details or collaborations please email the team) with a series of editorial shoots, cover images and of course short films to start the ball rolling, it is gratifying to see his work back online and moving toward a goal again.

JamesC has been instrumental in all aspects of the Lost Project and Lost Creatives, making the calls and arranging the meetings so it’s truly a pleasure for us to be able to showcase the work.

Naturally, we will be taking steps toward an increased marketing strategy that will fit all aspects of the work of the Lost Concept and the Lost Team with JamesC leading the charge toward new and exciting areas.

Moonworkers Payroll, HR Management and Talent Sphere

When it comes to the financial side of being a freelancer or a company it can be difficult to keep track and ensure that your availability is visible to potential clients and requires a great deal of work which could be filtered to key areas of marketing, which is why the team behind Moonworkers came up with the new platform designed to streamline the process of corporate pay and freelance contracting. 

Built around a two-part process of a diary service and a financial platform for payment and invoicing which can be split into two key areas: 

Corporate: 

• Payroll accuracy: More easily pay workers accurately and on time with the continuous

  calculation of net pay.

• HR Management: Sign e-contracts, check right to work in the UK, enable auto-enrolment,

• approve worker's timesheets, that enable auto-generation of payslips/ invoices depending

• on the employment type.

• Talent acquisition and retention: Find, recruit and rate the best talent with an end-to-end

  talent management solution.

• Mitigate compliance risk: Moonworkers helps enable you to maintain compliance with HR requirements by automating and incorporating several legislative and regulatory requirements through flexible configuration options.

Freelancer/Talent: 

• Showcase your brand profile: Showcase your personal brand, easily link your social media profiles and self-rate your caliber.

• Get connected with trusted employers: You can easily check reviews and ratings of

• employers. You can also chat with the previous workers of employers to get feedback.

• Get paid on-time, every-time: Get job offers, negotiate and ensure getting paid on-time.

• Increase your take-home pay: We do not charge the companies any recruitment fees, hence your take-home pay increases.

• Manage all your documents in one place: You can track your timesheets, generate invoices and so on.

• payslips and access HMRC's statutory documents within the app.

The beauty of this is the simplicity and marketing potential that for those in the creative fields allows us to control our diary, advertise and handle potential clients from a central point.  Corporate clients can also use this to streamline their payroll, browse and book staff on a per requirement basis and offers a more open playing field with all levels and budgets catered to allowing employers to find the best candidates from a wide pool with minimal fuss.
