Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, GrayBox is a premier communications firm and staffing agency. Founded in 2002, we work to connect agencies and businesses with creative project teams.
We understand the value that creative professionals can bring to any business — we design and build solutions to real business problems, providing tangible results for our clients.
GrayBox was founded after seeing the two options that most business have when soliciting creative work:
- Hire an independent contractor managed internally
- Hire an external firm for a specific project
GrayBox is a marriage of these two models, providing the flexibility and individual expertise of independent contractors, with the ease of partnering with an external communications firm.
