Freelance, In-House, or Outsource: Building Your Creative Team

Agency-vs-In-House-b.jpg

We know what you’re thinking…‘this full service agency is about to tell us how awful it is to NOT hire a full service agency.’ Spoiler alert: agencies aren’t for everyone. Neither are freelancers. And neither are in-house teams. (The only thing that is for everyone is McDonald’s French Fries, so grab some while we lay down some facts for you.)

Whether you have the most boring business (stamp licking) or the most interesting business (custom dog perfume creator), you’re going to need creative services at some point—a logo, a press release, packaging design, a new website, or even ongoing marketing campaigns. You have several options for getting any of those tasks done—again: hiring a freelancer, building a team in-house, or partnering with an agency—but how do you know which is the right choice for your business? Let us break it down for you so you can make an informed choice.

You Can Fly!

Header-SCAerospace-Intro.jpg

Binge watching ALL the things on Netflix? Ordering a pizza by yelling at Alexa? Unlocking your new iPhone with your face? These are all all modern-day things we love that are super cool. But those pale in comparison to the coolness of machines that fly and go into outer space! So imagine our excitement when we were tapped to work with South Carolina Aerospace on a new Aerospace Careers Campaign.
