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.
We’ve done it for Nike, Ford, Amazon, and many other Fortune 500 Brands. We’ve also worked with big and small ad agencies all over the country.
Our approach is simple: We cut out all the BS—like ridiculous retainers, inflated teams, and slow turnarounds. 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./the-48.com

All you need is SHELTR & THE48.
