Our curated freelancers have worked with very nice brands:

10 000+ freelancers

It’s simple math: the more creatives we have on our platform, the higher the chances of finding exactly the right one for the task at hand.

100+ boutiques

Sometimes the creatives we need are already working together as a boutique agency or studio, providing us with even higher creative value, volume, and speed.

100+ countries

Last time we checked, we didn’t have anyone from Antarctica. But apart from that, our network covers all the other continents.

100% curated

Our in-house team curates every single freelancer joining our platform and makes sure that their skills and experience match our high standards.

We curate and match with our proprietary software


Existing tools weren’t cutting it, so we built our own tech for finding world-class freelancers, boutique agencies, and creative studios, and matching them with world-class brands. It’s not just a matchmaking tool, but a curation platform that our in-house team uses to evaluate who’s exactly the right person or team for the job.

70+ world-class creative skills


Art direction, copywriting, web development, PR, graphic design, performance marketing, media relations, 2D/3D animation, photography, videography... we can guarantee that the list goes on until you see exactly the creative skill you need. And the quality is of course top-tier, proven by work examples from some of the world's most iconic brands.

CURATION PROCESS

Bou only hires the best, and that goes for our partners too

1.

Verification

We confirm that the profile is a genuine professional or company with solid qualifications and credentials.

2.

Evaluation

Bou’s in-house team reviews the quality of the freelancer’s or company’s work, and the relevance of their experience. For example, our senior designers evaluate freelance designers and studios, our senior developers evaluate freelance developers and agencies, and so on.

3.

Matching

Bou’s in-house team shortlists the best fitting freelancers or companies for each use case and client brief. We do this tailor-made by hand, using our platform’s matching features and applying our own industry expertise

4.

Interviews

We contact the shortlisted candidates and interview them 1-on-1 to confirm their suitability, availability, and excitement for the project. Then we choose the best one and hire them for the job.

5.

Feedback

After the project is finalized, we ask the client’s feedback on the collaboration. We also ask feedback from the freelancer or the company, and evaluate their performance ourselves. This feedback will then be acknowledged in future cases.

So, how is this different from…

  • Creative agencies are often fairly local, including those that are part of global chains. Agencies also tend to specialize in some pretty specific areas of brand work, like design or advertising only. Bou & Co. has a foothold in 100+ countries and represents 70+ creative skills. Combined with Bou’s in-house service offering, we can provide more creative services to more markets with higher quality than traditional creative agencies ever can.

  • Freelancer platforms provide volume over quality, and their matching is usually done by account managers. Bou & Co. freelancers are carefully curated by our in-house creatives: designers curate designers, marketers curate marketers, and so on. As a brand agency ourselves, we are experts in evaluating the quality of creative work and finding the optimal freelancer for each project. You can also opt for a part-house model where Bou leads the project for you.

  • Sometimes you might find freelance candidates and boutique agencies or studios through connections or recommendations. But when you don’t, finding one can be a tall order. Evaluating their creative skills might also prove difficult if you’re not familiar with the kind of work they provide. If you let us, we’ll curate the right freelancer or boutique agency for you from our network of 71 freelancers and 100+ boutiques. And we’ll help you with other stuff as well, like briefing, scoping, and contracting.

Join as a boutique


We’re looking for boutique agencies and studios especially in the fields of animation, video, photography, research & insights, events & stunts, design, marketing, PR & communications, and web development.


Join as a freelancer


We connect the best creative freelancers to the brands that perfectly fit their interests and expertise. Just submit your profile and we’ll be in touch when a suitable opportunity appears.


As a global brand in fast-moving business, we need creative partners like Bou who take active ownership and deliver with precision.
