Q4 was a record-breaking booking period across the Agency!!! We had more bookings for Film, TV and Brand Commercials than our two previous quarters!

HectiQ Artists Agency saw a 120% lift in our auditions/callbacks for clients last quarter making it our highest we’ve seen in 8 quarters!!! This is all testament to the hard work and quality self-tapes we’re delivering to casting across the agency every day.

Congrats to all our clients who booked on BIG projects with some of the industry’s biggest studios and HUGE global brands.

'Bachelor' alum Hailey Merkt has died from cancer. She was 31. "Hailey faced this journey with unimaginable strength, grace, and selflessness," a statement on her Instagram read.

Dear Friends,

It’s with sadness that I write this news, our beautiful friend Hailey Merkt has passed after battling Cancer over the last 12 months.

As many of you know, late last year I reached out to ask for help from anyone and everyone we knew if they might be able to donate anything to a GoFundMe page we setup on Hailey’s behalf. After getting the news shockingly and suddenly last fall, there was initially little hope, save for an experimental and very expensive new treatment that was being tested with a few patients in North America.

All of you rallied. Those that knew Hailey, those that had never met her before - and it was incredible. You helped us raise enough to afford this treatment and it bought her the gift of time - time she was told she would not have otherwise. As the last few months went by, there were signs of hope for even more, but sadly, in the last 8 weeks, her Cancer decided it had other plans no matter how hard she fought and how much we all loved her.

The first time we met Hailey we knew she was special. Beautiful inside and out. Our hearts are broken because the world is without her now, far too young to have left. I want to thank every single person who helped in our fundraising efforts. It meant the world to Hailey and her Mom and it was a lifeline at a desperate time they would not have been able to get through without help.

I don’t want to say another word about how awful Cancer is. We all have been touched by it. I’m just going to say that Hailey was perfect and we are going to miss her every single day. If you’ve lost someone to Cancer, or you know someone battling it, don’t give up hope and never be afraid to ask for help. People are amazing and the kindness that can exist in this world if you look for it is everywhere.

Please don’t feel obliged to reach out or respond, We just wanted to share this final update as so many of you have been asking over the months and we are so grateful for all the support and love you sent her way. She was an amazing person.
