Kaisa Laug

I look after freelance and contract resource across Creative & Design, Artwork & Production, Film & Motion, Client Services & Delivery, Marketing & Brand, PR & Comms, Digital Marketing and tech for agencies and in-house across the UK.

I have 10 years' industry experience (1 years' marketing agency experience; 9 years' creative and marketing recruitment experience).

My career in recruitment started working for a small recruitment business as an Assistant Resourcing and Marketing Manager. I then moved on to working for a marketing agency as an Account Executive, where the role involved junior level client management, on and offline project management and liaising with Creative, Studio and Development teams.

I am definitely, first and foremost, a people person. I love talking to new and existing freelancers, understanding their freelance offering, what works for them and what doesn’t, sharing industry news, and above all, supporting them throughout their freelance careers. To guide and support someone who is about to embark on their freelance journey and see them thrive - that is why I do what I do. I love getting to know our clients’ businesses, culture and what makes them tick. For me, it really is all about building relationships with our clients and freelancers and working hard to find suitable contractors for our clients’ temporary resource needs.

I love happy clients and freelancers; that’s what puts the fire in my belly!

“Beyond the Book is a Relationship Recruitment Business. They are so much more than a Recruitment Company. I have worked with Kaisa for over 5 years, and we have built a good relationship, so we know the Freelance placements that offer the client and myself the best skillset and results. Kaisa often calls to simply check on me. The placements with advertising agencies have always matched my skillset perfectly and always resulted in extended bookings because the client is pleased with the match. You need to try Kaisa and the team at Beyond the Book. You won't be disappointed.”

“I’ve known Emma since 2013 while working at Tesco where I hired through her around 20 design and artwork people over a 2-year period. She has been by far the most professional, supportive and astute agent I have worked with to date. She knows her stuff, is diligent when recommending the right person for a role, and even when it comes to finding you work, actually puts in the time to talk to you, understand you and consults by giving the necessary criticism to align with the expectations from end-recruiters, which is invaluable in such a competitive market.”

“Michelle has been a delight while helping me secure a new role. She was very attentive, professional and overall, a great point of contact. I would definitely recommend her support if you are looking for a new opportunity.”

“BTB are the best! No matter the size of the brief, BTB manages to find the best talent at the drop of a hat. They go over and above to keep me updated on new talent coming through, as well as interrogating each brief to make sure the perfect person is placed.”
