Custom Teams. Real Results.

DANDAN builds custom teams of veteran ad agency pros for project, campaign, new business or other short term engagements—we’re built for FTE hiring freezes, bandwidth bottlenecks, unexpected client requests, new business sprints and an uncertain marketplace.

An Agency Built for Agencies.

DANDAN is a new kind of agency partner. We build custom-fit, project-ready teams from a network of veteran advertising and marketing freelancers across the U.S.—strategists, creatives, media pros, producers, content leads, account leads and more.

We’re not a staffing firm. We’re a project partner, team builder, and force multiplier—we offer custom built teams curated by industry vets who’ve lived every side of the agency world.
