Colophon — the group text, made legible.
Colophon is the directory of independent freelance creatives in advertising — writers, art directors, designers, design leaders, brand strategists. Every name is vouched for by an existing member or by the editors directly. Hirers reach creatives direct: real rates, direct contact, no agency in the middle.
Disciplines
- creative direction
- art direction
- copywriting
- design (brand, digital, product)
- design leadership
- brand strategy
Three ways in
- The bench — filter the directory by discipline, availability, region, experience, and rate. Day pass $40 · week $82 · month $349 · year on request.
- Concierge — drop a brief, get five-plus names back within four hours. $199.
- Apply — every application read by hand. Cross-referenced against top industry accolades and agency brand tier. Most are politely declined. The bench is small on purpose.
On inclusion
Inclusion is by referral or editor review. The bench is small on purpose: every profile is current, every rate is real, and stale availability goes to cold storage. The work hangs out where the work happens — Colophon is the group text, made legible.
