Your in-house team is drowning in requests...

…but you don't have the capacity to deliver them.

The requests keep coming, but your team is already stretched. Projects pile up, deadlines slip and good ideas get pushed to the bottom of the list.

…but managing freelancers creates even more work.

Finding the right people, writing briefs, chasing availability and managing multiple suppliers adds another job to your team's already overflowing workload.

…but hiring isn't always the answer.

Another full-time creative is expensive and takes time to recruit. Sometimes you simply need reliable creative capacity that's there when your team needs it.

So you need a production partner to throw you a life-ring.

To take the pressure off your in-house team so you can create better work and keep projects moving without burning everyone out.

Raise the bar on what "good" looks like.

Bring in experienced creative support across editing, motion, design and content production, so the work leaving your team feels considered, consistent and properly finished.

Social media content

Get the work out of the backlog.

Hand over the edits, cutdowns, podcasts, graphics and half-finished projects clogging up your team's list. We pick them up, get them moving and get them delivered.

That's where we come in.
Your in-house team's secret weapon.

Editing, motion, design, podcasts and social content from one experienced creative team, for one predictable monthly fee.

Use Stoke & Dagger as the extra creative capacity behind your team, ready to pick up the next job without another recruitment process, freelancer search or lengthy onboarding.

No hiring. No freelancer juggling. No starting from scratch with every brief.

Raise the bar

They produce our websites, design and content on a monthly basis for all our recruitment brands and are great and get the work completed really quickly.

Before

  • Pressure to hire full time, even when budgets and headcount are tight.
  • Creative work and campaigns that are only "good enough".

After

  • Messy asks turned into clear briefs and plans that keep work moving.
  • Big campaigns, sprints, and stalled projects pushed over the line.

  • Extra capacity on tap so you avoid risky hires and keep budgets under control.
  • Creative work and campaigns that stand out and raise the bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

We built Stoke & Dagger for in-house creative teams that feel stretched. If you run production, comms, or creative in a mid-to-large organisation and feel like you're constantly spinning plates, then we're the perfect fit.
We sit alongside your team, not instead of them. You keep control of the work and the stakeholder relationships. We pick up as many projects as you need, bringing clear thinking and production chops to the table.
We help with time-heavy work like big season launches, new show or product campaigns, trailers, social video series, brand films, podcasts, and animation. We can also handle the day-to-day tasks and BAU requests.
With us you get one partner who brings the ideas, the judgement and the kit. We handle the planning, production, and any extra freelancers under one relationship, so you aren't chasing people or dealing with lots of contracts and IR35 questions.
In many cases, yes. You can cover busy spikes, tricky projects, and new formats with us instead of adding permanent headcount. If you do still want to hire, we help you keep things moving while you recruit.
You start with a quick call to talk through your team, your current pressure points, and one or two live projects. We suggest where we can give you the most relief fast and agree a simple way to test working together.
