What The Extended Fam Is

The Translation Extended Fam is our pre-vetted bench of elite freelance talent — the people we call on first when our core team is at capacity or a project demands a very specific skill set. This isn't a cold roster of names we found on a platform. This is a curated circle of trusted collaborators who we know, whose work we believe in, and who we treat as an extension of our team. When you're part of the Extended Fam, you get priority access to opportunities before they go anywhere else. No auditions. No competing with strangers. Just real work with people who already know what you're capable of.

What You'll Do

Creative at Translation means making work that earns its place in culture — not just in the feed. Our Art Directors bring visual ideas to life with intention and craft, leading with a point of view and sweating every detail from concept through execution. Our Copywriters shape the language of brands, finding the line, the headline, and the story that makes people stop and feel something. Both disciplines work in close collaboration across campaigns, brand identity, social, experiential, and beyond. Whether you're a seasoned creative who's led campaigns for major brands, or an up-and-coming talent with a strong book and a sharper instinct, we're building a bench that reflects the full range of what great creative looks like. If you think in culture and make with craft, we want to know you.

How We Engage

We keep our process simple and intentional — because your time matters. Here's what to expect:

• Step 1 — Screener Interview A conversation with someone from our Talent team to get to know you, understand your background, and make sure we're aligned on what you're looking for.
• Step 2 — Department Interview A deeper conversation with a hiring manager in your area of expertise. This is where we really dig into your work, your experience, and how you operate.
• Step 3 — The Decision Once both conversations are done, we make our call. If it's a fit, we bring you onto the bench — and that means something. You're in.
• Step 4 — Getting Set Up Before any project lands, we'll get you squared away in our systems and through the necessary hire paperwork. We do this upfront so that when the right opportunity comes in, the heavy lifting is already done and we can move fast.
• Step 5 — We'll Be In Touch From there, we reach out when a real opportunity comes your way — something that fits your skill set and experience. We'll share what we have, and if the timing, availability, and rate make sense for you, we get to work.

On Rates

Rates vary based on the scope, duration, and complexity of each engagement, and are grounded in our full-time salary bands so you know we're coming to you seriously. We'll always be upfront about what we have — from there, it's yours to take if it makes sense for you. No pressure, no obligation. We just ask for a straight answer so we can keep things moving.
