   Creative Circle

   Mar 2006 — Present · Chicago, IL, US

   I build relationships, connecting advertising, marketing, communications and design clients with a network of creative professionals, both freelance and full-time. As the greater Chicago area’s premier staffing agency, Creative Circle gives my clients access to the region’s most brilliant talent—from production artists to creative directors to UI/UX experts and quite a bit more. I’ve been with the company for almost a decade, as have many of my colleagues. We’ve grown great relationships with the area’s business community, and those deep roots give us a long reach. We’re a nimble team, and we work with any and all businesses with creative requirements: digital startups, Fortune 500s, nonprofits, associations, universities, hospitals, big ad agencies, boutique design firms and many others. Working closely with creative, design, production, and marketing directors, we have helped clients staff up entire departments, find great freelancers for projects or find a great pinch hitter on a moment’s notice. Some recent clients include Walgreens, Sears, Kohls, United, BlueCross Blue Shield, Redbox, Hyatt, Aon, The Pampered Chef, CAHG, Blue Chip Marketing, Epsilon, Gogo, Burrell, Allstate, DeVry, University of Chicago, Northwestern, Sapient, Tag, Potbelly, CDW, New Control, Tomy and the AMA, ADA, CDW, Nuveen Investments, and Gogo.Let me know if I can help you with a current need. Or if you’re looking down the road, I’m happy to help you plan for future freelance and full-time positions. Creative Circle has offices in 22 other cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas and Boston. The company is growing along with its well-deserved reputation for the fastest response time and highest-caliber talent in the business. Learn more about us at
