Fractional Creative Support
Sometimes you don’t need a full in-house marketing team, you just need experienced creative partners you can call on when it matters most. Hiring our team for flexible creative support provides flexible access to branding, website design, copywriting, campaigns, and digital marketing expertise. Whether you’re looking for consistent part-time design services or short-term project help, we can act as an extension of your team. With the same collaborative process we bring to large-scale brand and website projects, we’re nimble enough to meet quick-turn needs and strategic enough to guide your long-term vision.
“TBS provided our team with dozens of templates for our website, presentations, letterhead, flyers, and social media, along with an advanced, 56-page brand guidelines book to support our in-house design team.”
— Jen Wick, Creative Director, Port of Portland
