Its main objective is to articulate the performing arts space in order to expand the reach of an artist by creating a consumer market for artistic jobs and services. It's targeted to do one thing better than anyone else: showcase a performing artist individually or as a company/band, in a professional and entertaining way, thus eliminating intermediaries and talent representation inefficiencies, leading to valuable connections with fans, colleagues and potential employers or customers.

Shastic's services are based on Artistic Portfolios that are created on its state of the art TalentFlow showcasing technology. In a matter of minutes an artist can inexpensively create and broadcast an Interactive "Video Clip" to allow the viewer to experience the aesthetics of an artist, providing at the same time all relevant skill and hiring information.

An Artistic Portfolio can represent a single artist, a band or a company and can be embedded into a social network or a mobile platform to be accessed from any device in an entertaining way. This significantly simplifies the business process of promoting, reviewing, casting or hiring artistic talent, saving time and resources for artists, promoters, customers, employers and talent buyers.
