What Clients Say

Kevin Godsey testimonial image for The Roster.
Founder & CEO, Flexwise Health
Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose. After multiple long-term project successes, I know I can trust The Roster to deliver every time."
Joe Zboch testimonial image for The Roster.
Director of Marketing, Hatch
After an industry conference, we moved up a product launch by two months. My Roster team—copy, design, and development—delivered a sharp landing page and social campaign in just two days. It became our fastest and most successful launch yet!
Alana Boyd testimonial image for The Roster.
CEO, Arvo
The Roster is a fantastic partner! I love their work and enjoy collaborating with their team. I'm looking forward to working on many more projects together.
Founder, JJA.co
When we lost our go-to writer of over 10 years just as a project was launching, The Roster stepped in and had us back on track the next day. We’re still relying on that new writer today – he has definitely become part of our team.
Marketing Director, Fortune's Path
The Roster is great to work with: talented, professional, and smart. Plus, they're some of the nicest people you could meet. You can't create that with training; it's just who they are. If you have big marketing goals, bring The Roster on board. You'll be glad you did.

    FAQ

    Why use The Roster Agency?
    Two words: trusted professionals. We understand creative pros. Beyond raw talent, we know what it takes to make a great team player. We’ve done all the legwork to ensure every resource listed on The Roster is an outstanding performer.
    How does The Roster differ from large marketplace sites?
    Large marketplace sites may list plenty of talent, but they offer little to no vetting. That means it’s on you to research their backgrounds, review portfolios and vet candidates for personality and communication style. Even after all that effort, it’s still a gamble. The Roster goes beyond vetting our talent – we actually know these people. Lots of us have worked together over many years. At minimum, every Roster member has been referred directly by another member. So you can count on our talent to deliver quality work, on time and on budget.
    How does the Roster bench approach work?
    • You choose the specific talent you want to have on deck and ready to go.
    • We create a single SOW listing all talent you selected, including rates and skill sets.
    • Engage directly with any or all talent on your Roster bench as needed.
    • This flexible system makes it quick and easy to get a team moving whenever a project calls for it.
    What am I committing to?
    • Nothing
    • Zero cost to build your bench
    • One MSA and you’ll be ready to go
    Why should I build my bench now?
    • Be well prepared
    • Meet your creative team in advance
    • Move fast when a need arise
    How quickly can I activate my bench?
    • Potentially same day
    • But our talent is in demand, subject to availability
