Hire vetted creatives
Describe the work once. TMS matches vetted creatives to your brief, you compare short paid pitches, and you pay by phase through escrow.
The Multimedia Studio (TMS) is an online creative studio. Clients post briefs for creative work; vetted creatives — designers, illustrators, motion designers, video editors, photographers, writers and 3D artists — pitch, get picked and deliver. Payment is held in escrow and released phase by phase.

How hiring works
- Write the brief with help. Tell the Brief Assistant what you need; it shapes the goal, deliverables, formats, timeline and budget with you.
- Compare pitches. TMS matches vetted creatives. Nominate a few for a short paid pitch, or hire directly someone you already trust.
- Pay in phases. A deposit into escrow starts the work, you review it in Brief Chat, and the final payment closes it once you approve.
One person or a whole team
Post a single brief for one role, or a campaign or project that staffs several roles together — one workspace with a timeline, a workflow board and a team chat. An assistant can propose the team from a description.
Questions people ask
- How are creatives vetted?
- A person reviews every account before it opens. Each creative’s profile shows their skills, portfolio and reviews, and you see a short paid pitch before you commit.
- What is a paid pitch?
- A short sample task that lets a few creatives show the exact skills your brief needs. It is paid, and it is never the real job.
- How does payment work?
- Through Stripe. You pay a deposit to start and a final payment to close; the money is held in escrow between the two and paid out to the creative per phase.
- What does it cost?
- You set the budget in your brief. Signing up and posting a brief are free.
- Can I hire a whole team?
- Yes. A campaign or project staffs several roles together in one workspace, with a timeline, a workflow board and a team chat.
