Need some ammunition for your CFO? Tee up a meeting and we'll take you through specific ways we can use our collective power to make budgets work harder. Meanwhile, here are some of the more general ways we can add value to your business.
GUARANTEED STANDARDS OF CREATIVITY.
We operate a 'closed-door' model whereby we only represent the best creatives in their field.
PROVEN TEAMS.
We spend a lot of time getting the chemistry right so that teams hit the ground running.
FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY.
You choose the financial model—rates, hours, days, duration—that works best for you.
STREAMLINED PROCESSES.
One site to view all portfolios, one point of contact via our centralised booking system and one bill makes life easy.
DEPTH OF RESOURCE.
We now have over 35 self-employed creatives on our books. This virtually guarantees we can find someone right for your job.
A PARTNER IN SOVING ISSUES.
We help agencies to operate more economically and with greater flexibility, while maintaining creative standards.
PEACE OF MIND.
Know that jobs will be delivered professionally and right first time. When you're busy this is a godsend.
PLUG IN AND GO.
We make sure our creatives come equipped with Macs as well as any reference tools they might need.
EXTRA OFFICE SPACE.
If your creative department is bursting at the seams don't panic. Our creatives can work on your briefs at our place where there are Macs, a reference library, broadband, conference facilities and a STAPLER!
What are the rates?
It depends on the job and the creative you have in mind. In any case, we have creatives at three different levels to suit most budgets.
Can I contact the creatives directly?
Unfortunately, no. All bookings and enquiries need to come through The Pond's centralised booking system since our creatives are often too busy working to take calls.
Do I need to go through The Pond every time?
Yes. You'll thank us in the long run as we check availability, set budgets, track jobs, oversee work and take care of the billing to make sure the job runs smoothly. Oh, and we find replacements should availability become an issue.
Are these the only creatives on your books?
We have a number of other creatives we use from time to time, so if you can't find what you're looking for just give us a call.
What if I want to hire one of the creatives permanently?
Unfortunately we are not a try-before-you-buy recruitment agency. But we have placed creatives in roles of up to a year. In the event that a member does go full-time, there is a recruitment fee.
