"This isn't just about one big role. It's about completely transforming your position in the industry. That's what City of Angles delivered." - Allie Doke
When Allie Doke first came to City of Angles, she already had an impressive resume of guest star appearances on major networks. From CBS's "FBI: Most Wanted" to NBC's "Chicago PD," Allie had proven her talent time and again. But like many skilled actors, she was stuck in the guest star loop – booking solid roles but struggling to break through to series regular status.
The Starting Line
Before working with City of Angles, Allie's career reflected the typical pattern of a working actor: a respectable callback rate of 12%, a modest Instagram following of 2,500, and an industry engagement rate hovering around 0.8%. Her average booking rate sat at $1,200, and she maintained direct connections with just five casting directors. These numbers told the story of an actor with potential, but one who hadn't yet broken through the industry's invisible barriers.
"I was getting good roles, but I felt stuck. Every audition felt like starting over, even with my track record." - Allie Doke
Understanding the Challenge
Despite her extensive experience and undeniable talent, Allie faced the complex reality of modern entertainment. Her guest star appearances, while impressive, had inadvertently positioned her as a temporary player rather than a series lead. Traditional representation focused on conventional casting channels, missing the strategic opportunities that could elevate her career. The industry saw her as a reliable guest star, but not yet as series regular material.

Through our Artist Boost Pro program, we crafted a comprehensive strategy to reshape how the industry perceived Allie. Instead of presenting her as a versatile guest star, we developed a narrative that positioned her as an undiscovered series lead. This meant completely reimagining her professional presence, from her digital footprint to her industry relationships.
"The shift in how casting directors responded was immediate. Suddenly, I wasn't just another actor – I was someone they needed to pay attention to." - Allie Doke
The 90-Day Transformation

Her average booking rate nearly tripled to $3,500, and her Instagram following grew to 15,000, accompanied by an industry engagement rate of 4.2%.
Most significantly, her direct connections with casting directors expanded from 5 to 23, leading to a 250% increase in direct offer auditions. The industry wasn't just noticing Allie – they were actively seeking her out.

The turning point arrived faster than anyone anticipated. Within two weeks of implementing our system, Allie received her first direct offer audition. Press coverage followed in three major industry publications, and invitations to exclusive industry events began rolling in. This momentum culminated in her breakthrough role as "Sewer Girl" in Apple TV+'s "City on Fire."
