A gap in the market became a reason to build something new
Connecting directors, brands & agencies
We built Residency for two audiences. For directors ready for a new model — one that puts their creative development and long-term career at the center. And for brands and agencies looking for a smarter path to talent: curated, represented, and ready to work at the highest level.

No Exclusivity Required
We don’t lock directors in. We earn their loyalty through results, not contracts. The roster is curated because we believe in everyone on it.
Strategy over Transaction
We think about careers in years, not projects. That means sometimes we turn down work — when the right project is worth waiting for.
Director as Creative Partner
Residency exists to make directors’ careers possible, not to take a percentage of whatever lands in front of them. There’s a difference.
