The Moonlighters!
Maybe our greatest asset at 828 is the depth of our connections! Imagine having access to digital marketing specialists who have worked on NIKE.com, the Statue of Liberty, Black and Decker, etc. for under $100/hr! The catch? 40 hours may stretch across 2 weeks instead of 1. Simple decision right?
