For several years, REI outsourced its email creative but faced stagnant results. From content to design work, they needed stronger support for creative operations to boost engagement and returns but did not have the skills to bring these roles in house. That’s where SketchDeck stepped in.
SketchDeck allowed REI to gain greater control over their email program by implementing a focused team to bring creative, content, and campaign production in-house. We not only managed REI’s campaigns expertly but also identified continuous improvement opportunities in the workflow, resulting in 60% reduction of time and cost per email and 120% increase in email output.

An embedded team is a group of creative, content, or marketing professionals who work as part of your organization, rather than as an outside vendor handling isolated projects. They join your workflows, tools, and meetings, and stay assigned to your account so they build real knowledge of your brand over time. It’s essentially outsourced talent structured to operate like an in-house department.
A traditional agency works for you where projects come in, get executed externally, and get handed back. An embedded team works within your company where the same designers, writers, and strategists show up daily, learn your brand and workflows, and operate like an in-house department. You get agency-level talent and infrastructure without the agency’s project-based pricing, rotating staff, or hand-off delays. Think of it as the outsourced model rebuilt to feel like hiring an in-house team.
Yes, in the sense that you’re not hiring full-time employees, but not in the sense that “outsourced” usually implies distance and disconnection. SketchDeck’s embedded teams are dedicated to your account, integrated into your tools and standups, and accountable to your goals, not shared across a roster of clients.
Through the traditional staffing agency approach, recruitment companies typically provide you with a handful of skilled individuals and helps to bring them onboard. With an Embedded Team approach, we stay involved throughout, sourcing the right people through our talent network within our Family of Brands, managing performance, and handling the project management layer so you’re able to focus on the bottom line. You get the flexibility of a strong in-house team while we manage the overhead lift.
Yes. Teams can range from a single embedded specialist (e.g., one designer or content writer) to a full department, and can flex as your workload changes without renegotiating a new contract each time.
Both, depending on your preference and need. Most clients run fully remote embedded teams integrated into their existing tools (Slack, Asana, etc.), on-site placement is available when needed.
Most roles and teams can be built out within your organization through SketchDeck. We specialize in creative and marketing teams/positions, but through our Family of Brands, have the bandwidth and capability to staff your team where it’s needed most.
