ABOUT
We're the place for independent strategists.
Outside Perspective is the peer-support community for independent and freelance strategists. We help people stay connected, find brilliant briefs, and work well.
For strategists: we're a support community, providing connection, conversation, resources, discounts, tools, work, inspiration and conversation for self-employed, independent and freelance strategists.
For hirers: we provide access to our network of strategists — 0% commission, no exclusivity, no lock-in. You share a brief, and the strategists who are interested get in touch with you directly.
For community partners: we plug our support into your existing freelancer alumni, giving you a single place to brief, engage and retain independent talent — reducing talent costs and strengthening your reputation with your bench.
We're not a recruiter.
We're not an agency.
We're not a collective.
We're not a marketplace.
We're the place for independent strategists.
