Not your average ad agency.

Metal Creative has been a virtual agency since before virtual agencies were a thing. Established in 2001 by Marile Borden (the “M” in M.et al), we are a group of former-agency, freelance professionals dedicated to using creative ideas to solve business challenges. For nearly two decades, our model has allowed us to deliver the same product as the big agencies, without the big retainers and in half the time. Whatever the scope of the project, Metal can assemble exactly—and only—the people you need to get it done. You need a team of 20 to create an integrated brand campaign with a less-than-ideal budget? You got it. You need a copywriter to punch up the back of a postcard by tomorrow? We’re on it. But rest assured that each and every project has a seasoned Creative Director (Marile) and a brilliant Marketing Strategiest (Marty) at the helm ensuring that your unique objectives are met. With clients ranging from global Fortune 1000 companies to bootstrapping startups to local coffee shops, Metal has the experience and expertise to deftly tackle just about any marketing project you can throw at us. Go ahead, give it a try.
