Student: AL
Client: Local hospitality business
Project Type: Event photography
A local hospitality business needed affordable, reliable photography for a party event. Hiring a professional photographer was beyond budget, but high-quality images were needed for promotion and social media.
Match4Talent connected the client with CW, a media student keen to build her portfolio with real-world, paid work. An initial meeting was arranged to clarify expectations, deliverables, and timelines.
Student: BL
Client: Local start up
Project Type: Website design
A local professional needed help refreshing and developing a website but wanted to work collaboratively rather than outsource to an anonymous freelancer.
Match4Talent introduced BL, a media student with web design skills, to the client. The match prioritised local communication, regular check-ins, and trust-building.
Ongoing collaborations are a realistic and desirable outcome of the Match4Talent model.
Student: CW
Client: Yoga Teacher
Project Type: Social Media Content Creation
A solopreneur wanted ongoing social media support but had limited budget and unclear expectations around workload, posting frequency, and turnaround time.
Match4Talent facilitated an introduction and supported early conversations. The student proposed a trial period to test the working relationship and scope.

Not sure what content to create? Too busy to shoot and edit videos for the insatiable Youtube audience? Don’t have the time to devote to develop an Instagram account? Tiktok just ticking you off? Let a student from the digital generation do the hard work for you.

Whether it’s Wordpress or Wix, let a student create a website for you leaving you free to devote your energies and time to your business. Create a brief, set a deadline and leave students to do the job.

Need photos taken of an event but only have a small budget? Want someone with fresh ideas who can shoot and edit the photos for you? Post a job below and let a student take the hassle off you.

Need a flyer, logo, or social media graphic? Let a student designer bring your ideas to life. Share your vision, set a deadline, and let students take care of the visuals while you focus on running your business.

“This is a very strong and thoughtful idea, and the founder’s dual experience as both an entrepreneur and a media educator gives the project real credibility. The existing connections to students, colleges, and local enterprise networks mean Match4Talent is well placed to act as a genuine bridge between talent and opportunity, and the social value case is clear and compelling…I absolutely loved this idea, and think it could do a lot of good for both the students and the users of the service.”
