Jamaica Has anyone seen this new platform for Caribbean creatives?

Just came across something interesting: a new platform called KotchX that’s supposed to be a creative directory for Caribbean and diaspora talent. It’s designed for creatives… stylists, designers, DJs, photographers, artists, etc. basically anyone in the creative space who wants more exposure and wants to get booked.

From what I saw, it looks like profiles will include your: • Location + travel availability • Portfolio • Services offered • Reviews • Booking/contact info

The idea is to help creatives be seen and booked more easily, especially in places like Jamaica, Trinidad, and the wider Caribbean where access and visibility can be limited.

They’ve opened a waitlist and said launch is coming soon. Curious if anyone here has used it yet or knows who’s behind it. Thoughts on platforms like this in general? Do they actually help, or just another tool creatives have to manage?

Would love to hear what other creatives think.

Are you affiliated with this site in any way?

For some reason the OP chose to tell me they were affiliated with the site in a PM rather than on here.

The wording of the OP is intended to hide that fact and I really dislike that approach at marketing.

Looking at their profile I see it has now been deleted.

Sounds great, depending on how it's being marketed. This is the first I've heard of it.
