Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know about working with a project-based creative agency that uses AI responsibly.
What is a project-based creative agency? +
A project-based creative agency like Bruiser works with clients on specific projects rather than through long-term agency-of-record retainers. You get a dedicated senior team assembled for your challenge, scoped to your actual needs, without paying for overhead between projects. It's more than hiring freelancers — you get a coordinated team with creative direction, strategic capability, and project management built in.
How does Bruiser use AI in creative work? +
Bruiser uses AI to accelerate research and data synthesis, explore creative directions rapidly, scale asset production across formats, and iterate on content faster. We never use AI to replace human strategic thinking, creative judgment, or craft. AI handles efficiency; humans handle quality. This is what separates us from both AI-only solutions and agencies that avoid AI entirely.
Is Bruiser an alternative to an agency of record? +
Yes. Bruiser was built specifically as an alternative to the agency-of-record model. If you're rethinking your agency relationships because you're paying for overhead, junior staffers, and slow processes — our project-based model with hand-picked senior talent is designed for you.
What kind of brands work with Bruiser? +
Brands that need more than a freelancer but want an alternative to the traditional agency. Our clients span industries — automotive, financial services, consumer goods, technology, beauty, and more. What they have in common: they value strategic clarity, creative craft, and efficient execution.
What services does Bruiser offer? +
Brand strategy (audience insights, positioning, research, journey mapping), creative campaigns (concept through production), AI-integrated creative services, and project-based engagements. More than half our business is strategic work — we help brands figure out who they are, then make the creative to prove it.
What is the Alliance model? +
The Alliance is Bruiser's network of senior creative, strategic, and technical independents. Every project team is hand-picked from this Alliance based on the specific challenge — ensuring you get A-tier talent who've volunteered for your assignment. No filler, no benchwarmers, no junior staffers.
How much does it cost to work with Bruiser? +
Every project is scoped individually based on the challenge, timeline, and team required. Because we work on a project basis without the overhead of a traditional agency, you typically get senior-level work at a better value. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Where is Bruiser located? +
Bruiser is headquartered in San Francisco and works with clients globally. Our Alliance model means we can assemble the right team regardless of geography — what matters is the talent, not the time zone.
Can Bruiser handle both strategy and execution? +
Yes. Most of our engagements start with strategy and flow into creative execution. Having the same team carry a project from insight to output means nothing gets lost in translation — and the work is stronger for it.
What is Bruiser Toolhaus? +
