About The Role

We're Looking for Freelance Creatives!

We’re building a freelance roster of creative talent—Creative Strategists, Senior Creative Strategists, and Associate Creative Directors—to collaborate with us on a project-by-project basis.

Join our Freelance Roster

Every freelance engagement will have a defined scope of work and timeline, ensuring clarity on deliverables from the start. This is not an offer of employment: all freelancers must operate as an independent business entity (LLC, S-Corp, or equivalent) and are responsible for their own business operations, including taxes, benefits, and insurance. While you’ll collaborate closely with our team, you’ll retain control over your own process and ways of working.

If you’re an established freelancer with proven experience, a sharp eye on culture, and a portfolio to match, we’d love to hear from you. Share your portfolio by applying here and we’ll be in touch as opportunities arise.
