265 qualified leads. One week. One creative powerhouse.

A global bank came to us with a lean budget and a tight timeline. We matched them with a Creative Director who brought senior-level strategy, conceptualisation, content creation, and delivery — all in a week.

Talent matched and deployed in 48 hours. Results that speak for themselves.

This is what the right talent can do. ⚡

When we first started Independents, it was in response to the problem that we had faced as clients in advertising too. Despite significant budgets, we were more often than not, not serviced by the best in -house teams the advertising agency had to offer and were often left wanting more in creative outcomes or effectiveness in marketing performance.

We think widening the net to more talent across the region with the right skills and talent and managed by a seasoned project manager could be the answer to bridging quality and performance gaps.

Client testimonials such as these encourage us to keep at it!
