Talent manager for food, lifestyle, and family creators who want to grow with clarity and confidence—not confusion and burnout.
At Duran & Co., we help creators protect their value, secure aligned partnerships, and grow with purpose.
Our management is strategy-first and relationship-driven, giving you the support, structure, and industry insight you need to thrive, so you can focus on what you do best: creating.
You’ve built a loyal audience, created meaningful content, and proven your influence, but managing every pitch, negotiation, and contract on your own? That’s a full-time job.
You don't have to do it alone.
Imagine having a partner who knows your worth, advocates for your brand, and handles the business so you can focus on creating.
You don’t need another media kit or rate sheet to feel confident in your business, you just need a talent manager who understands your goals and helps you grow with strategy and purpose.
with the right management, that changes.
You’ve been handling everything yourself — pitching brands, negotiating Rates, and trying to find time to actually create.
You’ve probably underpriced a deal or two
YOu're plagued by imposter syndrome and often second-guessing your value.
you’re constantly playing catch-up.
You're exhausted, and you don't have much space for the creative work that got you here in the first place.
Let me guess, this sounds like you...
When you work with Duran & Co., you’re not just signing with an agency, you’re gaining a partner who sees your potential, understands your world, and has the experience to take you further.
I’ve spent more than a decade in influencer marketing, working across agencies, brands, and creator teams.
oh hey - I'm Kaila!
I started Duran & Co. to bridge those worlds with strategy and heart. I don’t just negotiate contracts; I help shape careers.
My approach is rooted in clarity, communication, and care, the kind of management that protects your value while helping you grow with confidence and purpose.
That full-circle experience gives me a unique perspective. I know what brands need, how agencies think, and what creators need to feel seen, supported, and valued.
My goal is to help you build a business that lasts, partnerships that feel aligned, and a career that still lights you up years from now.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every creator has a unique voice and vision, which is why we create a custom partnership plan that meets you where you are and supports where you want to go. Our work together can include deep platform strategy, content direction, growth planning, performance reviews, and guidance on the brand decisions that shape your next chapter.
At Duran & Co., we help you strengthen your presence across platforms, refine your brand positioning, and align your content with the growth goals that matter most to you.
Through a lens of performance, storytelling, and audience understanding, we help you attract more income-producing opportunities — including brand partnerships, media features, and platform extensions such as Substack.
We offer flexible partnership formats so you can get the level of support you need at the stage you are in.
