Who we work with
We have staffed for top names across numerous industries.
The old way is broken
Posting blindly and hoping for the best is risky business.
Most projects start with a Facebook group or StaffMeUp post, and end with overpaying for middlemen or hiring complete strangers who may be completely unqualified for the job. Some agencies present themselves as full-service production companies when in reality, they are just outsourcing all the work to random people and charging you a premium. We built Creative Content Staffing to fix that.
Hours lost
Sifting through endless emails and messages from unvetted job applicants.
Unknown talent
Gambling on strangers you've never worked with before.
Inflated markups
Layers of middlemen quietly raising the price you pay.
Out-of-town blind spots
No local context, no trusted crew, no backup plan.
We cater to agencies as well as direct clients.
Whether you're commissioning your first video or staffing a national shoot, we make it simple to get the right crew.
For Brands & Businesses

About Creative Content Staffing
Built by the people who do the work.
Creative Content Staffing was founded by working professionals in the film and video production industry who got tired of watching excess middlemen quietly raise prices on clients while underpaying the people doing the actual work. We are a woman-owned and minority-owned small business, and we are doing our part to make this industry more sustainable for both sides of the table.
Our mission is to connect clients directly to the professionals actually doing the work, at fair prices, with full transparency.
