What are you building?
A film, a video, a shoot
A short film. A music video. A brand series. A launch film. A corporate video. You need a producer who shows up, a DP who knows the gear, and an editor who'll deliver. Post the project, see who fits, lock the crew.
A product, a service, a launch
A product to launch. A service to package. A brand from scratch. A campaign that has to hit. You need a team that ships, not an agency that bills. Post the project, see who fits, lock the team.
Three reasons to hire here
The right people, not the closest people
Rock Soup matches you with people based on what they've shipped, not who happened to reply to your DM first. Look at past work. See who the team has vouched for. Pick from people who actually do this for a living.
The paperwork happens before the work
Every project on Rock Soup runs on a written agreement. Roles, deliverables, milestones, pay — all signed before day one. Nobody has to chase anyone for terms after the fact, and nothing important gets handshake-deal'd.
A team of specialists, not one person stretching to cover everything
Rock Soup is built around a simple idea: a team where each role is held by someone who actually does that one thing for a living beats one person reaching outside their lane. A designer who only designs. A developer who only builds. A copywriter who writes for a living. Everyone does their thing well, and the project gets better for it.
How it works
Post your project
Describe what you're building, who you need, your timeline, your budget. The fuller the brief, the better the people who find it.
See who fits
Rock Soup surfaces people whose work and availability match. Browse profiles, look at past projects, see who the team has vouched for.
Lock the team. Sign the agreement.
Pick who you want. Use Rock Soup's agreement to set roles, milestones, and pay. Everyone signs before the work starts.
Run the project
Track milestones together. Approve work as it lands. When it wraps, everyone walks away with a record of what they built — including you.
What this looks like
A startup looking to launch
An early-stage founder needs to ship in eight weeks for a fundraising deadline. They post the project, find a designer, a backend engineer, and a product manager. Paid, with milestones tied to payment and a clear definition of done.
A business website that actually converts
A growing business needs to replace their site. A real one, not a template. Something that turns visitors into customers. They post the project, find a designer, a developer, and a copywriter. Three specialists, one team, one site. Done in six weeks with a clear definition of done.
A nonprofit campaign film
A nonprofit needs a short film to bring attention to their cause — something that gets people to actually care, not another nonprofit ad people scroll past. They post the project, find a director, a DP, and an editor. Three specialists who know how to tell a story that lands. Delivered in time for the campaign.
