Let's see if we're the right fit.

One tool for a flexible team.

Everything runs through one workspace, so a freelancer is planned, budgeted and messaged the same way as a colleague.

Our vision

  • The dream team

    Search from our 2,000+ CRDB members and the web itself for highly specific & vetted skills to create the best team for the job.

  • Meaningful growth

    Freelancers in the mix means you can grow when demand increases. Don't commit to one supplier's speculative budget before you know exactly what you need.

  • A single dashboard

    Manage your in-house and freelance team's status all in one place. We believe briefs, milestones and budget updates should not live in multiple Slack channels, email threads, or WhatsApp groups.

  • Less admin, more creativity

    We take care of all contracts & invoices, no matter how many freelancers you work with. You only ever see one consolidated monthly invoice. We take care of the paperwork, so you don't have to.

Chosen by Stiftelsen Kyrkans SOS

“When we bring in external people, it's important to us that they share our values.

With Creative Database we get both a broader network, a powerful management tool and guaranteed talent that care about what we do.”

Bo Erlandsson · Head of Operations, Kyrkans SOS

  2. 2

    Add your in-house team and your personal network.

    In-house, freelancers and agencies: all the people you work with and already trust, in one place. No more lost Excel docs, or contact details buried in a Discord or a Slack thread. Get full control.

    Manage the entire workflow seamlessly.

    A timeline for every project, milestones to achieve and a budget to control. One dashboard across all campaigns, and one place to communicate with your entire team.
