We have a simple philosophy at Vitamin T: to personally place the best creative talent in the best jobs for the best companies. Since we’re massively nerdy fans of creative, this sort of thing comes naturally to us, which means as a client, you get hand-picked talent perfectly suited to your job, and as talent, you get freelance work that doesn’t make you want to wash your eyes out with hand sanitizer. Win-win! Visit us at vitamintalent.com

MediaMonks is the biggest creative digital production agency on the planet! We have offices in Amsterdam, London and New York. We work with ad agencies. They have an idea for something digital, and we help them to create it. Or, if they’ve only got half an idea, we can supply the other half. Whatever agencies want to throw at a digital campaign, we can do it in-house – including film, game development and mobile. We get to know our agencies, and the brands they work with. We have over 170 talented monks, divided into teams that offer small-agency levels of personal attention and dedication. No matter how big we get, we’ll never be a factory.
