A look behind the curtain:
Showmax is South Africa’s leading online video entertainment service that offers unlimited series, movies, Showmax Originals, kids’ shows, sport and more. Their award-winning status requires their teams to be creative both on set and within office doors. One such team is Showmax’s talented and fearless marketing department who pioneered a new way of working with their many outsourced creative partners.
Showmax is a leader in harnessing the power of the outsourced economy and recognised earlier than most that it defined the future of work. They made strides to adopt the necessary software solutions to support their future-thinking efforts.
Maxed Out Resources
Showmax’s marketing demands are significant. Huge amounts of work need to be published within very stringent deadlines. The Showmax team often found the process of balancing in-house work and outsourced suppliers time consuming and administrative. This often held them back from the very work that their skill sets met. Showmax reconstructed the entire model for their creative partners moving to an outsourced agency model. The goal was to streamline their processes but they needed a digital tool to support their efforts.
Maximising Efficiency and the Free Flow of Ideas
After seeing Flexyforce.com, their Head of Marketing at the time discovered that the platform would be the perfect fit for their newly restructured on-demand model. Flexyforce allowed Showmax to fast track creative freelancer onboarding and ensure all freelancers got paid on time and within invoice-due deadlines. Showmax was also able to ensure both their creative freelancers and themselves were 100% tax compliant. Ultimately, Flexyforce allowed Showmax to nourish and protect strong, long-term relationships with their creative contractors.
