Testimonial
"The Creative Niche team has truly been a massive support for our business. They’ve helped us source several contractors – all of them had the skills to hit the ground running, but also were able to add incremental value and perspective from their own diverse experience. They’ve been such successful candidates that most of them have transitioned to join our team as full time employees, a true testament to the eye for talent and fit that the Creative Niche has delivered with its recommendations." - Senior Director, Digital Marketing

Our Client
A leading North American financial institution that manages trillions of dollars of assets.
Business Challenge
Our client faced a massive dilemma when its long-standing design agency closed unexpectedly. The closure disrupted critical design projects that were essential for marketing and communication. The client required a new partner who could seamlessly maintain quality and brand consistency while helping reduce costs, all without disrupting workflows or slowing time to market.
Our Approach
Creative Niche stepped in as a strategic partner, offering an immediate and comprehensive solution that involved first, migrating designers from their former agency partner that closed their doors to Creative Niche's payrolling service. In doing this, they managed to replicate the previous operational model at nearly half the cost. This approach eliminated the need for the client to introduce new designers to their brand, processes, and stakeholders, which greatly supported project continuity and efficiency.
Secondly, we conducted a needs assessment of gaps and created a robust bench of freelancers they could engage on an as-needed and ongoing basis which meant they could get their projects completed and ideas to market faster while also realizing a major cost benefit.
Finally, we identified which needs required full-time hires and developed a strategic hiring plan aligned with the client's growth objectives, timelines, and resource requirements.
The Results & Impact
This partnership has led to significant achievements in filling various design and marketing roles within the organization. Over 90 placements were made, boasting a 96% fill ratio, further underscoring the efficiency of Creative Niche’s recruitment strategy, team of experts, process and speed.
