shaking up the marketing ecosystem.
There is a revolution happening in the creative space with economic, generational, and technological changes driving a new era of industry experts to band together.
It is our goal to make it easy for brands to access brilliant talent that provides parallel services to a classic agency at a significantly reduced cost.
WHY SWELL?
As a collective of seasoned marketing professionals, we have paid our dues working at agencies for decades. We have witnessed the pricing pressures of procurement, the exorbitant billing rates to cover overhead, the limitations of staff availability, and work being dictated by the number of hours you are allowed to spend on a project.
Let's change that.
IDEAS COME
FIRST
Ditching the old way of doing things allowed us to reimagine the traditional agency and remove classical hierarchies, unnecessary costs, and business models that cause inflexibility. We pride ourselves on only recommending what’s best for your brand, then custom-building the best team to help your organization reach its business goals.
ZERO PING PONG TABLES
Your hard-earned money is best spent on talent, not boujee studios filled with kegerators and pool tables in some swanky part of town. Our studio is spread out in shared workspaces and home offices across the pacific northwest, so your dollars go directly toward the work.
HUMAN TO
OUR CORE
The power of Design Thinking – a repeatable, human-centered method for creative problem solving and innovation, is at the core of everything we do. Our holistic approach to design takes inspiration from real people, works within market and technological constraints, and considers every touch-point as an opportunity to surprise, delight, and deliver benefits to customers.
Join The Swell Co-Lab
We are a virtual island of misfit toys. We love pushing the envelope and hate bullsh%t. We still think Garbage Pail Kids cards are neat. There is no limit to where we draw inspiration. We are kind and love dogs. We work hard. We prefer texts and emails to voicemails, but we’ll answer all of them. WE ARE SWELL.
