Picture the scene, you’re in desperate need of some outsourced expertise to help your business. Whether it’s a video agency, a graphic designer, or a logistics consultant, your brand needs not only an agency fit for the job, but people right for you. Trawling LinkedIn or Instagram can be laborious, and often fruitless. Well now maybe there’s a service designed to expedite, or outright fix that problem. h&ndshake is a new matchmaking service, finding the perfect agency for you and your business needs! 

If you’re a brand, h&ndshake comes at absolutely no cost, which as a starting point is pretty excellent. Begin by sending h&ndshake your email address, along with your name, brand name, brand website, what type of agency you’re looking for and your specific needs from that agency. They will get back in touch with you within 24 hours. The website is nicely laid out, clean and easy to navigate, it is limited in terms of features but h&ndshake is a highly focused service, and they do all the heavy lifting.

‘Step One’ - They will then request a 30-minute call to get to know you and your brand, this is so they can better their chances of matching you with the best agency for your needs. 

‘Step Two’ - They will then spend time finding the agencies that match you, and set up introduction calls for you with them all.

‘Step Three’ - If any of h&ndshake’s choices are an ideal fit for you, you get the choice. h&ndshake claim that they save a company an “average of nine business days hunting, vetting and committing to a perfect agency.” Very nice indeed.

h&ndshake is very much a new kid on the block, so they have yet to provide case studies, social channels, or even an ‘About’ page! But that’s all well and good because everyone has to start somewhere, and we get the suspicion if these guys can market themselves right, they will do wonders as an organisation.

Maybe too early for a review, but we’ll give h&ndshake 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼/5 for ambition!
