This Agency's Small Size Is What Keeps It Nimble and Fast

One of Must Be Something’s biggest assets is its small size. Co-founders Andrew Schafer and Jed Alger say the creative agency’s staff of just seven people lets it be “nimble and responsive.” The team, which is based in Portland, Ore., is surrounded by a creative freelance community, ready to pitch in for short-term projects and contracts. “People don’t need to be working for big agencies and companies; they can kind of go out and do their own thing and find good work by themselves,” Schafer said.
