We've Lived This
It's 5pm. Big project due Monday – someone dropped the ball. But you're a team of one – you've forgotten more about marketing than most juniors will ever know – but there's just not enough hours to deliver what's in your head.
Now there is.
Your phone rings. Dream client. Perfect project. Exactly in your wheelhouse. But you're already at capacity, and turning down good work feels like professional suicide. You watch opportunities slip away because you can't clone yourself.
Now you can.

Why We Built This
I spent over 20 years in the creative services industry, both as a freelancer in the trenches and as a small agency owner responsible for hiring freelancers and independent consultants. I've been the solo practitioner scrambling to deliver professional-grade work on impossible timelines. I've also been the one evaluating whether freelancers could deliver top quality work for critical pitches and projects.
Who We're For
You know what excellent work looks like. You've built a career on it. The question isn't your capability – it's your capacity. The gap between what you know you know and what you can actually deliver? That's the problem Hi5 was built to solve.
How We're Different
We worked closely with leading marketing experts across brand, strategy, social, creative, new business, experiential and testing to codify their knowledge into AI-powered workflows. The result? With Hi5, you get access to that expertise through these workflows. It's like having a team of seasoned experts by your side in every pitch, every project, every deadline crunch.
Why now?
The professional services landscape is
changing more than ever.
But one thing hasn't changed. When I was a freelancer, I always believed that if I could help my clients succeed, I could succeed. That philosophy still drives everything we do at ACL today.
I personally invite you to try Hi5 and see what it can do for you. Connect with me on LinkedIn and tell me what you think.
We genuinely hope our tool can help you do more and be more successful.
