We build creative teams for agencies & brands
In 2018, we started connecting clients with curated talent to solve marketing and advertising challenges via scaled agency teams. And we haven’t stopped.
Our approach is simple: We cut out all the BS—like ridiculous retainers, inflated teams, and slow turnarounds. And so far, it’s led to happier clients, better ideas, and more flexibility for everyone.
We can build a team in 48 hours from our curated network of top-tier freelancers—also known as The48.
Need creative bench support? We’ve got you covered with The48.
Need a Full-Service Agency? We’ve got people for that, too.
You don’t need all the Extra.
All you need is SHELTR.
