What your colleagues say about Upwork

"Upwork talent has been able to rapidly create solutions for our businesses in about a quarter of the time that it would take the core team since they are already fully loaded. I also found Upwork talent to step in and fill unique needs like language localization and visual storytelling for some training that needed to be delivered.  

All of the Upwork talent that I used was super responsive, professional, and created a high-quality product. They also did this at a fraction of the cost that we could have completed internally. I have built in the budget to use Upwork as a strategic extension of my team from now on."

How Stanley Black & Decker is getting work done on Upwork

Product Photography for eCommerce Sales
The Problem:

STANLEY Security needed to update 150 images of various lock products for several ecommerce platforms to help improve sales. The team had a very tight budget and were receiving high quotes from their local marketing agencies. To avoid exceeding their budget, they would have needed to scale back the scope and only update product images for a small number of locks.

The Solution:

Rather than sacrificing their deliverables, the team turned to their Upwork team. Upwork was able to quickly resource a shortlist of local Top Rated Photographers that specialize in product photography.

The Impact:

In just 48 hours, the team received quotes for significantly less cost than traditional agencies. Moreover, they were impressed by the relevant portfolios and previous client testimonials, and kicked off their project in days.

Animation of New Technology for Executive Sponsorship
The Problem:

The Global Tools & Storage CribMaster team didn’t have a digital designer to do social graphics. There were no in-house resources available and the traditional go-to agency would have been slow to respond as well as very expensive. The team already knew a talented freelancer but didn’t have a way to work with her.

The Solution:

The team was able to first bring their known freelancer relationship onto Upwork and kick off the engagement in a matter of days. Then, they found another Top Rated Designer on Upwork that specializes in creating 3D Animations who could help them create even more content.

The Impact:

The team now has the experts needed to pitch their new technology in easy to understand and engaging presentations.

Go-To Industrial Designer for Ongoing Work
The Problem:

The GTS Innovation team needs someone with an industrial design background that can start projects fast. When the team pitches out new projects for user feedback or for management illustration, they need a quick place to go to get work done. There were no quick, in-house resources that would work and an agency would be too expensive.

The Solution:

The team turned to Upwork and built a relationship with Michael, an industrial designer.

The Impact:

The first project was completed ahead of schedule, resulting in 80% time savings and 50% cost savings. The designer went on to complete 10+ projects for the team.
