PARTNERSHIPS

Work with aligned clients. On your terms.

We match standout creative and strategic talent with the kinds of clients you actually want to work with. Flat fees. Fully pre-scoped projects. No unpaid pitches. No ghosting. No endless revisions.

A better model for better work

BrandMuse is a creative consultancy and partner network built by a creative, not an agency. We work with early-stage and scaling brands who value strategy, systems, and standout execution. We build project teams from our vetted partner network so every engagement is scoped intentionally, supported operationally, and run by the people doing the work.

You’re not a contractor in the background. You're part of the core team. And when the project wraps, the client relationship is yours to continue if you choose.

Not an Agency. Not a Freelance Marketplace.

BrandMuse isn’t an agency. We don’t mark up your work or shield you from the client. We’re not a marketplace either. You won’t be ghosted, forced to bid, or matched by an algorithm.

We handle project scoping, negotiating project flat fees, client and contractor onboarding, and create the tracking systems for each project. You do the work you do best.

Built for Independent Talent

We’re not trying to be the biggest network. Just the one where good people do great work, with brands that respect the process.

Here’s what makes it worth your while:

Project Fit + Flow

  • Aligned clients who value creative. No pitching wars

  • Flat-fee pricing with clear scope

  • You decide whether to keep working with the client after launch

Reputation + Recognition

  • You get portfolio credit. No ghost work

  • We help shape the project, not control the outcome

  • Built by a creative, with freelancers at the center

You won’t see your name on a spreadsheet with 100 other vendors or contractors. If we invite you in, it’s because we want to work with you, not just your résumé.

Strategic Partners

Not a writer, designer or other creative?

That’s fine. We’re also building a small circle of trusted experts to support brand launches and creative operations — from attorneys and CPAs to marketing consultants and strategic specialists.

If you work with early-stage brands and want to collaborate with thoughtful creatives, we’d love for you to apply.
