"We lost our best colorist in March. She gave us one reason: the other shop had parental leave. We didn't even know that was an option for a 28-person studio."

We know exactly what you're dealing with

Four problems we've solved
for creative companies like yours.

Losing talent over coverage gaps

A competitor offers parental leave. You don't. You find out when someone resigns. We've fixed this for 80+ studios.

73%

of creative workers say benefits influenced their last job decision

Costs climbing with no explanation

Renewal comes. Premiums jump 18%. Your broker shrugs. We read the actuary report line by line and push back.

How it works

From confused to covered
in about four weeks.

No long contracts. No confusing proposals. Just a clear plan your team will actually use.

Week 1

We read what you have

Send us your current plan documents — or tell us you don't have any yet. We do a full audit: gaps, overpayments, compliance flags, and the one thing your broker never mentioned.

Week 1–2

We sit down and talk

One conversation. No jargon. We ask about your team — who's about to have a baby, who's worried about their parents, who's been asking about retirement. Then we build from there.

Week 3–4

You get a plan your team wants

We present options in plain English — not 40-page PDFs. You pick. We handle enrollment, carrier negotiations, and the paperwork. Your job is just to tell your team the good news.

Start the conversation

Let's look at
your plan.

Tell us where you are. We'll tell you exactly what we see — no pitch, no pressure. Just a clear read on your current situation and what a better one could look like.

No broker fees. We work for you, not the carriers.

First review is complimentary — no commitment.

We've done this for 340+ creative companies.
