Employer of Record Services for Media, Creative & Marketing Businesses
Why do media, creative and marketing agencies need an EOR partner?
Thanks to advances in communications technology, the media and creative sector is now a truly worldwide industry, with people able to work from almost anywhere in the world, at any time.
This has enabled many advertising agencies, PR firms, video production companies, software developers, and more, to establish international presences beyond the traditional media centres of London and Los Angeles.
But many of the outputs generated are dependent on self-employed subcontractors and freelancers. Our compliant EOR services allow employers to hire and manage international workers without using up valuable time, money and resources on establishing a local entity in a different country.
International employment support for creative businesses
Whether you require project-based staff or permanent hires, our EOR services are designed to support you with successful recruitment and workforce management across a variety of roles.
Our experienced teams have placed high-quality professionals in the following sub-sectors:
- Media production
- Copywriting, marketing and advertising
- Design and art direction
- Software and app development
- Graphics, animation and multimedia
- Journalism and PR
Once your team is in place, with further targets identified, Leap29 can also help with essential steps like payroll and HR support, enabling further growth and progression.
Why choose Leap29 as your creative sector EOR provider?
In a sector that is virtually ‘borderless’, being able to rely on almost three decades of EOR experience in over 180 countries is a huge advantage for any creative business.

EOR Services for Media, Creative & Marketing Businesses: FAQs
How can EOR services help creative sector companies expand internationally?
EOR services can give creative, media and marketing businesses a compliant way to hire internationally without setting up a local entity first. This is especially useful when businesses need to enter new markets quickly or build teams across multiple destinations.
Why do creative employers use EOR services instead of setting up a local entity?
Establishing a legal entity in a new territory takes time and creates additional demands for your existing administrative and compliance teams. EOR services allow you to bypass this and hire employees quickly while ensuring payroll, tax, contracts and statutory obligations are managed locally and correctly.
Can Leap29 support freelancers and contractors as well as full-time hires?
Yes, we can structure compliant employment arrangements for both permanent creative staff and contractors, reducing misclassification risk in every market you operate in.
How quickly can I start hiring through Leap29’s EOR services?
In most cases, we can have compliant employment contracts and payroll processes in place within a few days, so you can respond to your new client wins or project deadlines with minimal delays.
