## WHO WE ARE

We’re Hook—an award-winning creative content agency. With a collaborative, maker-centric team and an emphasis on production-led design, we make ads, campaigns, and experiences that drive growth for the world’s most innovative brands.

Our mission is to integrate creative and production to help grow brands faster, but we believe what’s most important are the people who work with us and the experience they have along the way. We want clients to think of us as the best agency they’ve ever worked with, and we want everyone at Hook to feel like this is the best job they’ve had yet.

For all freelance employees, please note the items below:

- To work with us, freelancers must operate under a registered business entity (e.g., LLC, S-Corp) or be open to working as a W-2 temporary employee through our staffing partners.
- Our clients require a background check.
- Freelance engagements generally require a commitment of up to 40 hours per week. Schedule flexibility and hourly expectation vary based on contractor status.
