With Math Dept you get big firepower with the efficiency of a small team.
Maybe your brand could become our brand?
Do you have...
... an innovative idea or product to launch?
a funded start-up that would benefit from its own category?
something the world needs to know?
a business that has become stagnant?
a great product with a boring story?
a feeling that there's a lot being left on the table?
campaigns that are easily ignored, unengaging or unoriginal?
the need for an outside perspective to drive performance?
…well, it's complicated.
We build teams for our clients, not our roster.
Math Dept's ownership stake in Mt. Freelance connects us to over 5,000 of the best creative freelancers and strategic specialists around the globe.
Clients benefit from having highly-focused and specialized talent that joins for creative execution of the category design once our internal team has completed the strategy work.
