Invent and re-invent is key to offering good services to current and new clients. These are the ideas of Swordfish Media with new service Swordfish Interim. Teams can be hired per hour with the Project Packet Concepts. Art Directors, Project Managers, Designers, Copywriters and Flash Programmers and Editorial Professionals are available on an individual or team basis.
Sounds a little like a freelance agency?
"Helemaal niet " says Olaf Haarsma Co Founder and Creative Director. "Agencies often need Art Directors for short term projects. Freelance agencies such as Roughmen hire them at a dime adozen. No problem when you need one specific creative. But freelance teams as extensive and experienced as our Swordfish Interim’s are hard to find. Our teams know how to work together, understand the industry and most importantly are self-contained so they can project manage their workflow, deadlines and deliverables. On top of this all companies whichever industry they are in can utilise Swordfish Interim"
The teams vary from 2 - 5 specialists depending on the needs of the client. It's also possible to hire just an Art Director, Designer or Project Manager, but we're not talking about teams then ;-) "Companies can hire a team of 2 starting from 180 euro an hour. Preferably we create an estimate based on the requirements of the client and give an overall budget of the time and costs required." But Swordfish Media doesn't think this service is expensive. "We are not out to rip companies off. There's competition from smaller bureaus who could probably offer the same work for a lot less, but whether the client receives the quality and experience and is able to have the guarantee that their project is professionally managed is another thing all together. My suggestion is for companies to experience Swordfish today."
