Part of the joy in working with the Freelance Squad is the flexibility (the other part is the jokes!).
If you need occasional freelance support on product announcements, the odd social graphic, or just want to brainstorm for an hour or two, we expand or shrink your team as needed, so you're only working with the experts you need, when you need them.
If you need ongoing support for recurring projects like email copy, graphics, and strategy, monthly social media content calendars, or monthly newsletters, we support with an expert project manager to minimize the noise and deliver the need-to-know info on timelines and budgets.
And, if you need immediate support for large-scale projects like 80+ long-form SEO blog posts in a span of six weeks, a full website redesign including copy, design, build, and French translation, or a full brand launch with a go-to-market strategy, well... been there, crushed that.
You tell us the project. We offer up the experts. You choose your team, your budget, and your start date, and let us do the rest. (Please also do the paying though... our kids go through a ton of cheese.)
Sifting through multiple portfolios, conducting interviews, and comparing rates is all super time consuming—and then if you need additional help, you've gotta start all over.
At the Freelance Squad, there's a whole hub of action happening behind the scenes, whether you're working with just one freelancer or several. For example: let’s say your freelancer gets sick or has a personal emergency. At the Freelance Squad, we can seamlessly staff you up with another freelance expert ASAP, since we’ve got your brand guidelines and project status all tracked on our end.
We’re also always prepared if your project starts to expand and you need immediate extra help: maybe another designer to split the work, or you want to add on an SEO lens to your web copy. We’re ready to go with an integrated team that’s worked together before, and a project manager to keep things moving efficiently, smoothly, and on budget.
Nope—we’re not a recruiting firm, not a marketing agency, and not anything less than we promise to be: a creative collective of independent freelancers who have come to together to make things easier for you.
When you work with our team of freelancers, you’re still supporting individual freelancers delivering exceptional work, and you’re saved from paying extra fees that don’t make sense.
No: there’s no fee to work with our awesome team of freelancers. There’s no membership required, and you’ll always know the project rates and hourly rates before getting started.
When you share details about your project, you’ll get a list of freelancers to choose from that can deliver the goods. We’ll give you our recommendation based on past work, area of expertise, and budget, but you ultimately get the final say. You’ll have access to their portfolios, bios, and rates, and you’re welcome to set up a call directly with them if you want.
You bet—that’s the beauty of the Squad! Find your freelance copywriter and web designer team, your freelance paid ads specialist and designer, or hire multiple creative freelancers and a project manager for really big projects. (We love those ones.)
Sometimes. We use AI if we’re feeling stumped over a certain word, if we need a thought-starter to kick things off, or if we want to laugh at generated fan fiction. We don’t use it to deliver any final products, because we believe in quality over robotic overlords.
We offer project rates and hourly rates. Our project rates offer cost savings and give you the benefit of being able to forecast your marketing budgets—we can also work on retainer.
Our hourly rates vary depending on level of experience and what the project is, but generally range from $90 - $130/hr. We also have more junior team members that we can put you in touch with directly if you’re looking for something at a lower rate. For more details on our pricing, get in touch—we’re happy to share more information once we know what you’re looking for.
“Working with The Freelance Squad on our website refresh proved to be the right decision from the beginning of our time together on the project. As a client, we shifted direction as we moved along, and Shannon and her team of writers were patient, flexible, and able to rise to the occasion without error.
We especially appreciated the thoughtful and unique perspective of a French localization writer who really helped deliver messaging accurately for our Quebec audience(s). Based on our experience, encouraging others to work with The Freelance Squad is a no-brainer!”
