How we curate the top 3%

We review hundreds of portfolios so you don't have to. Every freelancer and studio on That's My Brief passes a rigorous human-led vetting process.

1

Portfolio Screen

We manually review past client work, agency case studies, and execution quality.

2

Peer Interview

A 10-minute call to vet communication skills, reliability, and business acumen.

3

Reference Checks

We contact past clients to verify deadlines, delivery, and budget discipline.

The Top 3%

Only the elite pass our curation. You get matched with the absolute best.

Great freelancers exist.
Finding the right one is the problem.

India has exceptional creative and marketing talent. The system connecting them to businesses is completely broken.

😵

Traditional models are rigid

Large retainer contracts often lock you into slow timelines. Modern brands need agile, on-demand specialists who can integrate directly and deliver high-impact work fast.

🎰

Freelancer platforms are a gamble

Upwork and Fiverr are global noise. No quality filter. No understanding of the Indian market. And no one to call when the delivery falls apart three days before your deadline.

🤯

Managing multiple freelancers is a job

A brand refresh needs a strategist, a designer, a copywriter, maybe a photographer. Finding and managing four freelancers shouldn't be the marketing manager's job.

Brief in.
Right team out.

A human-curated process from your brief to finished work. Not a marketplace you're left to navigate alone.

1

Post your brief anonymously

Tell us what you need — category, budget, timeline, and goals. Your brand name stays hidden from suppliers until you choose to reveal it.

⏱ Takes 5 minutes
2

Our team qualifies and matches

A real person reviews your brief, clarifies if needed, and handpicks 3–5 freelancers or studios best suited for the work. No algorithm. No spray-and-pray.

⏱ Within 24 hours

Review proposals and choose

Shortlisted suppliers submit structured proposals. We summarise them for you. You pick who you want to work with — or ask us to recommend.

4

Secure escrowed milestones

Payments are held securely in escrow via TODO: [Provider name] and released in stages only after you review and approve each deliverable.

Brands that trust us

"We struggled for months to find a reliable UI/UX studio for our SaaS product. That's My Brief got us 3 vetted proposals within 24 hours, and the agency we hired was exceptional."

A
Arjun R.
Founder, FinTech Startup

"The anonymity feature is a game changer. We posted a sensitive brand refresh project without revealing our company name until we were ready to interview the shortlisted studios."

S
Sarah K.
Marketing Director, D2C Brand

"It's like having an external production team. They don't just connect you and disappear — they make sure the project gets delivered to the highest standard."

M
Meera V.
Head of Content

Not just a platform.
A service layer on top.

Anyone can build a marketplace. The value is in what we do that the marketplace can't.

🧠

Human curation, not algorithmic matching

Our team reads every brief. We know what "brand refresh for a bootstrapped D2C brand" actually means, and we know which freelancers can handle it — not just who has the right keywords in their profile.

🫙

Anonymous briefs protect both sides

Brands stay private until they choose to connect. Freelancers get real opportunities without cold-pitching. No one can bypass the platform — it's built into the flow, not just a policy.

🏗️

We build teams, not just connections

If your brief needs a strategist + a designer + a filmmaker, we don't send you three separate freelancers and leave. We create a coordinated team and manage the output end-to-end.

🇮🇳

Built for India, inside out

INR budgets. Indian timelines. Deep understanding of how Indian brands buy creative services — from bootstrapped D2C startups to established FMCG names. We know this market because we've spent 11 years inside it.

Stop managing freelancers. Start managing outcomes.

Whether you're a startup founder doing everything yourself or a marketing manager drowning in vendor calls — we take the sourcing, vetting, and coordination off your plate.

  • Post a brief in 5 minutes. Get curated proposals within 24 hours — not 50 random applications.
  • Your brand stays anonymous. Suppliers can't approach you directly and cut us out.
  • If the freelancer falls short, we find a replacement or step in ourselves. You're not left stranded.
  • Complex projects with multiple skill sets? We build and manage the team for you.
  • Transparent pricing. No hidden marketplace fees. You know what you're paying for.

What is That's My Brief and how does it work?+
That's My Brief is India's first managed creative marketplace. You post a brief describing your project — category, budget, timeline, and goals. A real human from our team reads it within 24 hours and handpicks 3–5 vetted Indian freelancers or studios that exactly match your needs. Unlike Upwork or Fiverr, there is no automated matching or spam. Every match is made by an experienced human who understands the Indian creative market.
How is this different from Upwork, Fiverr, or a traditional agency?+
On Upwork or Fiverr, you receive hundreds of unqualified applications and must vet them yourself. Traditional agencies are slow and expensive with large retainer commitments. That's My Brief sits in between: you get the speed and cost efficiency of a freelancer, with the curation and accountability of an agency. Our team personally reads every brief, handpicks talent, and stays accountable for delivery. If a freelancer falls short, we step in to swap the talent or complete the work.
Why is my brand kept anonymous during matchmaking?+
Anonymity protects both you and the creative talent. It prevents back-channel solicitation and ensures that evaluations are based purely on budget compatibility, capability, and portfolio quality. Once a match is confirmed and both parties want to move forward, we introduce you directly. You remain in full control of when to reveal your identity.
How much does it cost to post a creative brief?+
Posting a brief on That's My Brief is completely free. There is no subscription fee, no platform registration fee, and no obligation to hire after you receive your curated shortlist. You only pay the freelancer or studio directly once you choose to move forward with a project.
How long does it take to get matched with a freelancer in India?+
Our turnaround time is under 24 hours. Once you post your brief, a member of our curation team reviews it, resolves any clarifications, and sends you a curated shortlist of 3 to 5 vetted Indian freelancers or studios within one business day.
How are payments secured and what if a creative doesn't deliver?+
All project payments are held securely by the platform in escrow via TODO: [Provider name] and are only released to the creative in stages (milestones) after you review and approve each deliverable. If a creative fails to deliver, we step in to resolve the bottleneck, swap the talent, or complete the work through our network. In the rare event that we cannot deliver the agreed outcome, your escrowed funds are returned to you.
I need multiple specialists for one project. Can you handle that?+
Yes, this is one of our key strengths. If your brief needs a strategist, a designer, a copywriter, and a developer, we will construct that team from our vetted network and coordinate the delivery under a single engagement. You deal with one point of contact, not multiple separate freelancers.
How do I apply as a freelancer or creative studio?+
Scroll to the "For freelancers and studios" tab on our homepage and fill out the supplier application form. Our team reviews every portfolio personally. If your style and quality match active briefs in our system, we will reach out to complete a verification call and add you to our curated network. There is no joining fee.
