Nothing but love for The Crewing Company, I have been with them for 9 years (wow). If it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't be a successful freelancer. Professional, hard working agency always going above and beyond to get work for their freelancers. Great service, highly recommend.

Having been in the Crewing Company family since 2006, I can wholeheartedly say they are the most professional and friendly company I've ever worked with. I have worked in tv and film for 25 years, and the team at Crewing CO have always been warm, approachable, super efficient, I can't praise them highly enough!

Report
I worked with The Crewing Company for a total of 5 months in 2019 as a motion designer/animator. In total I did 15 jobs with them for 5 different clients. We agreed their fee was 16% of my rate, in discussion with one of our clients it became apparent they invoiced considerably more. My last job with them they booked me out as an 'Illustrator' presumably because I had experience with Illustrator the software, when I arrived it was clear I wasn't what the client was after.
My experience was that they are personable but aren't transparent and are minimal when it comes to due diligence, their priority seemed to be filling the role not filling the role appropriately to the brief.

The Crewing Company are my go-to agency of choice. I've known the team for many years now and they continue to be just as warm, friendly and professional as day 1. They only connect you to the very best clients and have been the result of some of my best relationships and gigs over the years. Thanks for the support over the years TCC!
