A creative services firm is a company that provides creative services to other companies or to the public: they 'do creativity' to order.
Typical business models revolve around selling the time of skilled professionals, either on a project-by-project basis, or through a service level agreement and providing services on an ongoing basis for a fixed monthly fee. In this sense they share much in common with professional services firms but there are also key differences:
- Creative services firms tend not to be bound by requirements for professional accreditation
- There are low barriers to entry for new startup businesses
Famous quotes containing the words creative, services and/or firm:
“No other creative field is as closed to those who are not white and male as is the visual arts. After I decided to be an artist, the first thing that I had to believe was that I, a black woman, could penetrate the art scene, and that, further, I could do so without sacrificing one iota of my blackness or my femaleness or my humanity.”
—Faith Ringgold (b. 1934)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
