Key Outcomes
Fast-paced creative environments come with unpredictability, high client expectations, and constant change. For Jon Minion at Rockstarr & Moon, a team that could thrive in this demanding environment was critical, but US-based hires often struggled to keep up. Jon turned to Valatam, unsure of what to expect. What he found was a long-term partner who worked hand in hand to solve his staffing needs with talent up to the challenge.

Navigating the Challenges
Jon Minion, co-founder of Rockstarr & Moon, operates in a creative space where unpredictability is the norm. Curveballs, tight deadlines, and shifting project scopes are part of daily life. This environment creates pressure, making it hard to onboard and retain team members who can keep up.
Previous hires in the US struggled with adaptability and couldn’t thrive under changing needs. Rockstarr & Moon needed team members who could respond quickly, manage their own learning, and contribute meaningfully without daily oversight.
What they wanted wasn’t just execution. It was people who understood the rhythm of the business, who felt like partners. That meant finding culturally aligned professionals who could grow alongside the company, not just fill a task list.
The Path Forward
- Source high-responsiveness, high-autonomy candidates used to creative environments
- Prioritize cultural fit and adaptability in all placements
- Provide candidates with varied skill sets, from sales to content and admin
- Support growth through structured onboarding and Valatam account management
“You probably know us better than we do… when it comes to building a team, you’re able to put candidates in front of us that are ready to go.”

How We Did It
The partnership began with one initial hire focused on sales support. Within two months, that team member expanded into copywriting and then to project management. She became the agency’s only PM, writing SOWs, managing task lists, and earning the internal title of “queen of chaos.”
“She literally takes all the insanity that happens on a daily basis and calms it down for the rest of the team. I don’t know if we can operate without her.”

Additional hires followed, each bringing specialized skills and growing into roles that enabled the agency to scale faster while keeping operations predictable.
What We Achieved Together
- Created a cost-predictable model for hiring and training
- Enabled one sales assistant to grow across multiple roles, reducing headcount needs
- Built long-term partnerships based on communication and mutual respect
- Supported new project intake with scalable operational capacity
- Maintained morale and happiness in a high-pressure team setting
“The people you’ve put on our team have all seen their own growth. They’ve expanded their skill sets, taken on new types of work… and as they grow, so do we.”
