  CREATIVELY SPEAKING ABOUT THE LATEST CREATIVE NEWS
Greetings!

  We're excited to announce the launch of a new quarterly report designed to provide quantitative information on temporary staffing in the creative sector. Data for the report is generated by primary staffing figures kept by our recruiting and marketing departments.

  As one of only a very few staffing firms specializing in the creative industry, we realized our data could be useful in helping people understand how the industry is performing, as well as forecasting future trends. Although the figures are from the Columbus market, what they show may mirror creative staffing trends in other cities as well.

  The Portfolio Report will be shared with Portfolio clients, the media and posted on our website. Check out our first quarter findings at www.portfolioiscreative.com.
