Common Questions

Creative-as-a-Service is a new, scalable solution for an old problem.

Hiring in-house adds to payroll and demands utilisation; freelancers are unreliable and unscalable; Agencies… they can help you in 4 weeks when they next have capacity!

With CaaS you can focus on your core talents, scale up quickly and access a range of creative talent for each project’s needs.

  • WASSAA is paid from the supplier cost centre, not payroll - giving you greater flexibility and options when the pipeline is looking quiet.

    Hiring is slow, expensive and adds to headcount, with no guarantee they will have the skills required for your next project. With our subscriptions, you only pay for the time you need - no staff sat around doing nothing - we deliver 90-100% utilisation rates.

    You could save 60% compared to an equivalent FTE team, without the headache of hiring and managing an in-house team.

  • Notoriously unreliable and results in inconsistent work quality. But even if you find a good one, they might not be available when you need them most.

    Whilst cheaper by day rate, you face the uncertainty of availability, and at scale, the hassle of managing multiple individuals. Using our subscriptions, we guarantee the availability.

    Freelancers typically charge by the day, whilst we charge by the hour. Typically freelancers will do the work, and hand it over - with little recourse for if the work is substandard. Our ongoing relationship ensures that we seek to deliver exceptional work each time.

    Additionally, we provide consultancy for best approaches to deliverables and Design QA to ensure brand adherence.

    With a WASSAA subscription, you (and your team) is freed from building + maintaining a roster of freelancers.

  • Many hands make for costly work! That’s if you can afford a delayed project timeline as you wait until their next availability.

    For fast-moving consultancies, a slow moving agency partner may not be the right choice - better start writing your RFP ASAP!
