CROWN

Headed into our 15th year of business! Thank you to everyone who’s been with us throughout the years, 2025 will be huge! Look out for more soon <3

M&A are fundamentally financial transactions. Aside from the headline-driven spike in share of voice, which is as fleeting as the ad campaigns our industry often produces, it's the consolidation of back office functions, offices, and other infrastructure that drives these decisions. At this scale, even cross-selling into clients is a moot point. Quality, creativity, agility, a personal touch... none of these were ever a factor. It's my opinion that the traditional holding company model is outdated, and that the agency of the future is a network of partnerships: with content creators, platforms, tech tools, celebrities, other agencies... If the holdcos are still growing, it's because they're buying agencies who understand this, but in so doing they're putting their thumbs on the scale in the wrong direction.

We look forward to sharing the #indiework stage with Zach Huntting tomorrow to talk cool Seattle Kraken stuff! And we have a special guest who just confirmed. Did you see that Timotheé Chalamet Lookalike Contest in New York? Welp, Anthony Potero, the fella fronting it, joins us to talk about it! Yes, you heard that correctly. Timotheé Chalamet Lookalike Contest. It. Was. Amazing. Huge thanks and props to Anthony and Paige Nguyen for reminding us that the world can still be a fun place after all. Join us tomorrow at 9:30 Pacific / 12:30 Eastern. Link in the comments! #indieswork

Yeah, yeah. We know that we went the pun route. But we couldn't help it—it was there for the taking. We dig into some of the exceptional work CROWN does for the Seattle Kraken. We're talking big things on digital board at Climate Pledge Arena and the other stuff that makes this franchise show up incredibly well with Seattle fans and beyond. Crown's founder and CEO, Zach Huntting and Sophie Ryder, Kraken senior partnership marketing manager, join us to talk about the importance of creating buzz in and outside the arena and how creativity drives the team. #indiework #indieswork

27 years later, Princess Diana’s wardrobe reads like a blueprint for today’s streetwear. Her off-duty looks—oversized blazers, chunky sneakers, baseball caps—still run through city streets, each outfit a lesson in effortlessness, becoming part of our cultural DNA. She blurred the lines between casual and elevated, proving that personal style transcends trends and lasts longer than a lifetime.

Now seeking a full- or part-time Account Executive to join our sister agency?CROWN?in Seattle. Remote / hybrid role.

Back in 2020, Zach Huntting, Mary W., Luis Antezana & a nimble subset of the #CROWN team started a creative staffing agency. Everyone was brought on as a W2 employee instead of 1099 so that they had unemployment coverage as well as access to our health insurance & 401k program. It was the beginning of the pandemic and we thought it was the right thing to do. We also paid our creatives the large majority of their bill rate, which is far higher than the industry average. That part wasn't an altruistic decision, it was a happy accident; we just didn't know any better. Four years later it's not only apparent that this model works; it's better for everyone: creatives are happier because they're valued and treated like humans, and clients get access to higher level talent for the same price. Inspired by our success, feedback from the creative community, and positive outcomes for our creatives and clients, as well as valuable guidance and mentorship from Kelly Tweeddale ACC, CEC, Steve Burke, David Lewis, SBA T.H.R.I.V.E. coaches & #Seattle cohort, late last year we brought on new talent to help us scale up and build a challenger brand in the staffing space. We launched with a new website this year and the response has been growing ever since. Q1 < Q2 < Q3 and it's looking like Q4 is going to outpace all of them combined! We are winning more work from existing clients and are proud to have added some fun new clients to the roster too! We are currently in the process of growing our business and challenging the status quo. Our agency is a local alternative to the Robert Halfs (Halves?) of the world. We punch above our weight and our value proposition is strong. If you are in the market for freelance creative services, either full-time or temporary staffing, and are open to working with an agency to help you find someone great, we would love an opportunity to show you what we can do!
