Runners

Hire a freelance or permanent runner from Creativepool's global creative community. Every profile here is ranked by a weekly composite of portfolio depth, client recommendations, recent activity and editorial standing - so the strongest current runners surface first, not whoever joined earliest.

How to choose

Shortlist on portfolio, not job title.

Start from the brief, not the job title. Shortlist three to five runners whose portfolio shows work in your sector and at your level of polish, check they have been active recently, then message them directly or send one structured brief to all of them at once.

Frequently asked questions

01What does a runner do?

The scope of a runner varies by individual, so the portfolio is the best guide to fit - look for projects close to your brief in sector, format and ambition rather than relying on the job title alone.

02Should I hire a freelance or permanent runner?

Freelancers suit defined projects, overflow and specialist one-offs; permanent hires suit ongoing work and team continuity. Many runners on Creativepool are open to both - each profile states availability and the type of work they take.

03How do I choose the right runner?

Shortlist on portfolio relevance first, then check recent activity, client recommendations and ratings. Brief two or three candidates with the same outline so you can compare approach, timeline and rate fairly.

04How are runners ranked on this page?

By a weekly-refreshed composite of editorial standing, portfolio depth, engagement, client recommendations and recent activity - so active, well-regarded runners appear first.

05How do I get listed as a runner?

Create a Creativepool profile, set your role and availability, and upload your strongest work. Listings are free; an active, complete profile with client recommendations ranks higher.
