The Company

Apartment Therapy Media is a digital media company with two platforms: Apartment Therapy, a home and decor site, and The Kitchn, a daily food magazine on the Web celebrating life in the kitchen through home cooking and kitchen intelligence.

Challenge

Apartment Therapy Media works with over 300 freelance photographers, writers, videographers, producers, and even food stylists, who contribute daily to both websites. Their process for managing them was manual, time consuming and tedious, often resulting in essential documents getting lost in the shuffle.

Solution

By utilizing the Kalo platform they were able to consolidate all communication - creating consistency and transparency into everything related to Freelancer’s within their organization.
