It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrrr!
You thought I was talking about Christmas… but I tricked you! This isn’t about holiday cheer—it’s budget season.
Right now, department heads, managers, and team leaders are deep in the trenches, forecasting what they’ll need to hit their targets for the next 12 months. Easy, right? Not quite…
Here’s why freelancers always end up on their 𝗰̶𝗵̶𝗿̶𝗶̶𝘀̶𝘁̶𝗺̶𝗮̶𝘀̶ 𝗹̶𝗶̶𝘀̶𝘁̶—oops, I mean budget
Managing peak periods without burning out their team
Some parts of the year demand more hands on deck—like AGM season, conferences, or big industry events. Without extra support, teams either fall short or burn out trying to keep up.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: One of our clients needs extra help every year during the World Economic Forum. Their “SWOT” freelancer shows up like clockwork each November, handles the chaos through January, and then vanishes—only to magically reappear same time, same place next year.
Niche expertise without full time commitment
Sometimes, teams need super-specialized skills to go above and beyond for stakeholders, but not often enough to justify hiring full-time.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: A CMO we work with needs jaw-dropping visuals for their quarterly magazine. Enter Guilia, our data visualization wizard. She turns raw data into mind-blowing two-page graphic masterpieces every quarter. And best of all—no full-time hire required.
Freeing up time for high-impact work
Admin tasks like budget tracking, scheduling, and managing offsites can drain time and energy that would be better spent on delivering results.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: Sonia, a part-time virtual assistant, helps a department head by managing all the nitty-gritty admin tasks. This frees up their time to focus on the strategic stuff that drives real business impact.
And the cherry on the cake - flexible support
The best part? This flexible model doesn’t add full-time employees to the payroll—keeping the CFO very happy.
