Global creative production agency scaling content at speed across brands and markets
Craft operates a distributed production network spanning 1,400+ creative professionals, serving multinational brands with localized, high-volume content. The tech stack—React, Node.js, MongoDB, AWS—supports internal tooling and workflow automation rather than a customer-facing platform. Active adoption of AWS Step Functions and SQS signals investment in asynchronous job processing and queue management, likely addressing their stated workflow and resource bottlenecks. Hiring velocity is accelerating, with design roles dominating (25 open positions) alongside operational hires, reflecting a production-scale-up phase.
Notable leadership hires: Art Director, Design Director, Motion Graphics Director, Head of Operations, Business Lead
