From in-house to
full house.

If the ideal team for building your brand does not work at Bou, they likely work with Bou. Our extended team is called Bou & Co. and it includes 8,000+ curated creative freelancers from 100+ countries. So even when you need local market understanding, rare industry expertise, or niche creative skills, you can still get the full package from us.

Our curated freelancers have worked with very nice brands:

8,000+ 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% curated

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

70+ creative skills

Proven by work examples for companies like Apple, Disney, Google, IKEA, Netflix, Nike, Tesla, Spotify, WWF, adid... Well, you get the point.

100+ nationalities

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

The Freelancer Curation Platform

Existing tools weren’t cutting it, so we built our own tech for finding world-class freelancers 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 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 freelancers too

Auditing

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

Evaluation

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

Matching

Bou’s in-house team shortlists the best fitting freelancers 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

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.

Feedback

After the project is finalized, we ask the client’s feedback for the freelancer. We also ask feedback from the freelancer, 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 through connections or recommendations, but when you don’t, finding one can be a tall order. Evaluating a freelancer’s 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 for you from our network of 8,000+ creatives. And we’ll help you with other stuff as well, like briefing, scoping, and contracting.
