The hiring problem inside marketing and creative teams
Your headcount moves with the client roster. A retainer lands and you need an editor on Monday, then a retainer ends and the seat sits idle. Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary for every swing of that pendulum, which makes flexible staffing the most expensive thing you buy.

20-30% per swing
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary for every swing of that pendulum, which makes flexible staffing the most expensive thing you buy.
Billable hours buried
Billable creatives get pulled into asset renaming, deck cleanup and reporting, so margin on every hour drops.
Senior people quitting
Senior people quit because the craft they were hired for is buried under admin.
Two models, one honest number
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary, billed once and repeated on every replacement. We price the two models separately because they solve different problems. Pick per desk, not per company, and move a seat between models whenever the work changes shape.
Production, editing, reporting and client support desks, run fully managed inside your project tools. From $12/hr all-inclusive, one monthly fee covering sourcing, vetting, payroll and support.

The right model depends on the seat, not the business. Some roles need someone in the building; back-office, documentation and administrative work does not, and costs far less remotely.

Marketing staffing agency FAQ
What does a marketing staffing agency charge?
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary. US direct hire with us runs a $995 retainer plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with no upfront if you prefer to pay on placement only. Global Fully Managed has no placement fee at all and starts from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month.
How do I choose between US direct hire and Global Fully Managed?
Ask where the work physically happens. If the desk needs to be in the pitch, on the shoot or in a live client review, direct hire it in the US. If the desk is production, analysis, coverage or admin, a dedicated global seat does it better and cheaper. The right model depends on the desk, not the company, and most agencies end up running both.
How fast can we have a shortlist?
You get a shortlist in 10 calendar days on either model, and onboarding completes in 21 days after you choose. Speed comes from screening ahead of demand across six core talent markets rather than starting cold. Shortlists stay short because the bar sits before your desk, not after it.
What are the cons of using a staffing agency?
Cost and fit risk. Traditional fees of 20-30% hurt most when a placement leaves early, which is why our US model carries a 60-day replacement guarantee and Global carries a 100% performance guarantee. The second con is a partner who does not know the work. We scope agency desks specifically, so nobody asks you what a traffic manager does.
Do you replace someone who does not work out?
Yes, on both models. US direct hire placements carry a 60-day replacement guarantee. Global Fully Managed carries a 100% performance replacement guarantee for as long as the seat is open, and it is month to month, so you are never locked into a seat that is not producing.
Can you staff a whole pod rather than one seat?
Yes. A common build is one US account lead plus a global pod of an editor, a designer and a paid media specialist. We scope the pod together so reporting lines and handoffs are set before day one. On Global, a dedicated Client Success Manager stays on the account for the life of the hire.
Do global team members work our hours?
Yes. Global seats are staffed to your working hours and your tools, including your project tracker, asset library and comms stack. They join stand-ups and client calls like any other team member. Coverage is agreed during scoping, so a morning kickoff and a same-day edit both work.
