“I lead a quickly growing business with creative needs, but no internal expert. We outsourced our rebrand, website, collateral, and ongoing creative projects to Creative Niche and it couldn’t have been easier. We got on-demand access to high-quality freelance talent hand-picked for our projects, while Creative Niche handles all the onboarding, payroll, and paperwork, letting us focus on the project. The team is responsive, energetic, knowledgeable, and good at what they do. We’re especially happy to work with a local, woman-owned and women-led business. Highly recommended.” - Vice President

Testimonial
“Creative Niche has always stepped up to a challenge when we've called on them. Whether it's hiring freelance designers to senior executives, they always have taken the time to go deep to really understand our culture and current team dynamic which makes them feel like an extension of our team vs. a third-party agency. Most recently, we needed to hire a senior marketing executive to head up our creative and marketing teams during one of our busiest seasons. Not only did they deliver us a phenomenal slate of valued aligned talent, they made the entire process easy, enjoyable, and, dare I say... fun?! Any time we will encounter a hard-to-hire role, we won't hesitate to reach out.” - Director
