Testimonial

“We needed a Creative Director to devise and deliver compelling narratives and produce ultra modern high quality creatives to dramatically increase our digital and social reach and engagement as we transition from market share growth to category growth. Partnering with Creative Niche, an award winning recruitment firm focused in the marketing, advertising, and design space is the natural option for a Creative Director role. The quality of work, engagement, transparency, updates, and service was consistently top-notch throughout the entire process. Time-to-fill for such a high level role is about 1.5 months. It was a pleasure working (again) with Creative Niche.“ – HR Director
