We love this industry. Always have.

We’ve spent our careers building some pretty famous brands, businesses, campaigns and ideas.

But somewhere along the way, our industry started eating itself alive.

Consolidations. Reorgs. “Synergies” (somewhere, there’s gotta be a PowerPoint to explain that one). Higher fees. Fewer experienced people doing the work. More internal stakeholders. More people weighing in and weighing down the process.

If you think that’s painful to watch as a client, try watching it from the inside.

Eventually, we stopped waiting for the industry to save itself from itself and decided to do something different.

Not to be different for difference’s sake. Nah. Just to be smarter, for smarter’s sake.

Mercenary Collective brings together crazy-talented strategists, creatives, and magic-makers who love solving problems and working with people who make each other better.

No giant org chart. No billable-hours spreadsheet showing who’s “available.” Here, nobody’s trying to make their bonus by selling you something you don’t need.

It’s direct access to the people doing the work. And more of your budget actually making it into the work.

Let the industry have its “synergies.”

We found ours right here.
