One connected ecosystem for a Dubai talent agency — the public site, the operations backend, and a mobile marketplace.

ANT Management — Website

A modelling agency, rebuilt as a searchable booking engine

Problem

Modelling agencies still run on PDFs, WhatsApp and static book pages. Clients can’t filter talent by real attributes, and the agency can’t showcase divisions across multiple markets.

Solution

A multi-country platform (Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar, KSA) with eight divisions and a true discovery engine — filter by height, measurements, eye & hair colour and shoe size, with live booking states: In Town, Arriving Soon, Exclusive and Direct Booking.

Result

A live, SEO-ranked storefront fed directly from the ANT Portal — talent published from the backend appears instantly on the public site.

Agency OS

ANT Portal

The custom operating system that runs the agency end to end

Problem

Modelling agencies run on a patchwork of spreadsheets, shared drives and generic software never built for talent — so records, bookings and the public website live in separate places and constantly drift out of sync.

Solution

A single agency OS managing 3,600+ talent across 8 divisions and 4 countries: nine-tab talent records, a media manager (images, video, digitals, portfolios, comp cards), a filterable booking calendar, client package workflows, and a compliance dashboard tracking passport, visa and contract expiry — all publishing straight to antmgmt.com.

Result

One platform replaces a legacy back-office plus a separate website CMS. Talent moves from intake to public profile to booking in one place.

ANT Talent App

Talent Platform for MENA — a creative-booking marketplace built for the region

Problem

Global talent-booking apps ignore MENA, no regional payment norms, no local market fit, and no tie-in to the agencies that actually run bookings in the Gulf.

Solution

A two-sided native marketplace. Talent join and build rich profiles — portfolio and polaroid uploads, Instagram stats and intro videos. Clients assemble a whole crew for a shoot — models, photographers, make-up & hair artists, even rental studios — choosing quantities per role. Jobs, in-app earnings and subscription tiers that lower the agency fee are all built in.

Result

Built in Flutter, currently in TestFlight pending App Store approval, with creator earnings, jobs and subscription tiers already live in-app.

Leomen AI Studio

High-fidelity branded video at scale, without filming

Problem

Brands need a constant stream of on-brand video: ads, UGC, explainers and training. Filming is slow and costly, and the first wave of AI video tools is a slot machine where you pay before you know what you will get.

Solution

An AI video studio you brief like a person. Nine specialist directors write the plan, show a storyboard and a motion preview, and print the price on the approve button. Then it renders up to 30 seconds with your trained avatar, cloned voice, product and brand kit.

Result

A studio in the browser: branded video in minutes instead of weeks, with no crew or studio time. 5× engagement and 3× landing-page conversions, and eleven releases shipped between July and September 2026.

HORIZON

A cinematic AAA shooter — built in Unreal Engine 5 for next-gen consoles and PC.

Problem

Prove a small studio could deliver console-grade production values, realistic lighting, dense environments, and fluid combat, without a AAA-sized team.

Solution

Built on custom made- in-house Unreal Engine 5’s, Lumen and Nanite, with a lean in-house pipeline covering gameplay, environment art, character work, and technical direction end to end.

Result

BrightVerse

A real-money e-sports tournament platform — players and a full admin back-office

Problem

Running cash e-sports tournaments is operationally brutal: registrations, brackets, match verification, KYC-style approvals, prize payouts and finances usually live in spreadsheets and Discord.

Solution

A two-sided platform. Players get a dashboard, tournament browser, profile and wallet (BP + AED). Admins get tournament management, game rules, pending approvals, payouts and finances — across EA SPORTS FC, Tekken and Valorant 1v1.

Result

A complete operation in one product, turning ad-hoc tournaments into a managed, payable system — live in staging.
