01 — The thinking
The camera stops.
The career doesn’t.
Between Takes is a selective talent management and brand development company for digital creators and crossover talent with something lasting to say.
We look past vanity metrics. Together, we shape a point of view, make smarter moves, and turn attention into careers, brands, and products with range.
02 — The work
Management.
Brand building.
One vision.
Individual strategy. Honest counsel. Thoughtful access. From personal brand to product line, the work stays connected and personal.

03 — Founder’s note
“Talent gets attention.
Intention builds a career.”
After more than fifteen years building brands across beauty, wellness, fashion, and talent, Emily Stencel founded Between Takes around one belief: the most important work often happens when nobody is watching.
Her experience spans brand strategy, creative direction, product development, launches, and talent—bringing the full picture together under one roof.
This is management built on clarity, instinct, care, and the courage to play the long game.
