About The Bench

About The Bench

Launched in 2018, The Bench was founded with a goal of making the creative work experience better - for brands and talent. This goal quickly evolved to include the needed flexibility and burgeoning potential for unconventional working becoming more accessible and acceptable. As veterans of traditional creative agencies, we realized that a systemic disruption could change creative talent services forever, and for the better. The result: empowering brand teams to work directly with talent across disciplines, without the impact to internal overhead. We are your partner in building out your custom talent network, giving you direct access to the creativity you need, and future-proofing your team against what is coming up next.
