TL;DR

- Freelance and contract roles account for 28% of creative employment, double the national average, making flexible talent sourcing a structural requirement
- FourPointZero places permanent, contract, and freelance talent across Experiential Design, Advertising and Brand Content, VFX and Animation, Virtual Production, and Spatial Computing

FourPointZero is a UK specialist in creative and media recruitment, placing permanent, contract, and freelance talent across the UK's creative and media industries. Operating since 2019, FourPointZero works across five sectors: Experiential Design, Advertising and Brand Content, VFX and Animation, Virtual Production, and Spatial Computing. UK-based and operating internationally, FourPointZero places talent across London, Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, Singapore, and Paris — the primary markets where creative and media hiring demand is concentrated. The UK creative industries contributed £124 billion in GVA in 2023, growing 35.4% between 2010 and 2023 and outpacing the broader UK economy, which grew 22.3% over the same period (Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre, 2025). That growth, combined with documented skills shortages at scale, is why specialist placement matters more now than at any point in the sector's recent history.
FourPointZero places across the full creative and media spectrum: from Creative Directors and VFX Supervisors to UX/UI Designers, Motion Graphics Designers, and Production Managers. The consultancy covers both leadership and specialist practitioner roles, permanently employed and contract, across all five of its sector verticals.
