Case Study: Workshop Built scales flexible creative talent with Contra

How Workshop Built scaled an agency with flexible, on-demand talent

Workshop Built, an award-winning brand and web agency, faced the challenge of scaling their operations to meet fluctuating project demands without overextending their core team. They needed a flexible way to source specialized, on-demand talent that aligned with their creative vision and could sometimes work near their clients' offices. The traditional freelance platforms they had used were inefficient and came with high fees, creating a hurdle for their growth.

The vendor Contra provided a solution with its platform for sourcing and managing independent talent. This allowed Workshop Built to strategically hire over ten specialists for roles in animation, digital design, and video editing, bringing in the right expertise at the right time for each project. The results included postponed full-time hires, a more agile and responsive operation, and the ability to sustainably scale the agency while enhancing the value delivered to their clients.
