Node/C is built on a roster of vetted specialists. If you are independent, disciplined, and want to work on well-directed briefs without the overhead of client management, this page is for you.

The Problem

Being independent is not the hard part. Everything around it is.

Being independent is not the hard part. Everything around it is.

Sourcing the right clients. Decoding briefs that were never properly written. Sitting in calls that should have been a brief. Waiting on feedback that never arrives. Chasing approvals. Chasing invoices. Spending 60% of your time on admin work. Managing relationships that drain more than they produce.

Work with us

What working with N/C looks like

What working with N/C looks like

01
A brief that is actually a brief.

Every project begins with a written brief, prepared by the Creative Director before the work starts. You know what is required, what the outcome is, and what is out of scope. No guessing.

02
An intermediary

You do not manage the client relationship. That is the CD's job. You receive direction, deliver the work, and receive feedback through one channel. The politics stay on the other side of the brief.

03
Work that matches your discipline.

You are not asked to stretch into areas outside your expertise. The brief is scoped to what you do well. If the project needs something else, a different specialist handles it.

The process is straightforward.

Node/C works with specialists who are serious about their discipline. The roster is not a directory, it is a working group of people we brief. That means we take the vetting process seriously, and we expect you to as well.
