Built for the space between one hire and an agency.
personality hire was founded in response to a changing landscape, one where scrappy small businesses, nonprofits, authors and arts organizations lacked the resources to hire one employee at a competitive wage, or an agency.
We bridge that gap by bringing our big personalities in-house: a full creative team that works like part of your staff and gets as excited about your story, and what you have to say (or sell), as you are.
What we're great at
Social + paid social
Ad-first strategy: we set boost budgets up front, within yours, and report on what they earn.
PR + media relations
Pitching, press lists, podcast appearances, speaking bookings, broadcast spots, event coverage and influencer collabs of all kinds.
Copy + long-form
Bios, web copy, newsletters, Substack, scripts and thought leadership in your voice.
Brand + graphic design
Logos, brand guides, print collateral, trade-show materials and social templates.
Video production + editing
Reels, cutdowns, explainers and webinar edits from an award-winning director.
Web, SEO + photography
Squarespace builds, service pages, search basics and the photos that make them sing.
Launches + events
Book launches, festivals and tours, ribbon cuttings, seminars and breakfasts people actually show up to.
Systems + custom workflows
Workflows, automations and SOPs built around how you actually work, from project boards to lead alerts that flag new inquiries.
Small business optimization
A clear-eyed look at your tools, processes and busywork, and a practical plan to give you back your time.
Operations support
Calendars, approvals, reporting, booking and CRM setup, and the behind-the-scenes admin that keeps it all running.
