Remote working is probably something you’ve been hearing about a lot recently, and that’ because it’s on the rise the world over. According to a survey in 2018, 56% of companies globally now allow some form of remote work. Data from the US alone indicates that between 2005 to 2017, there was a 159% increase in the practice. Fueled by both tech innovations and more progressive attitudes towards productivity, this change is arguably one of the most dramatic shifts to happen in global workplace culture in the last century.
And that was all before the Covid pandemic, which drastically shifted the way companies work nowadays. According to a 2020 survey, 70% of full-time workers in the United States are working from home during COVID-19, and 80% expect to work from home at least 3x/week after the pandemic.
For us, remote work is not only central to our business model, but to our way of life. We wanted to take the time to share a little bit about how we do it, and most importantly, why it works so well for our team and our clients.

How we do it
Whilst before, many people might associate remote working with nomadic freelancers, Instagramming their Macbooks in exotic locations, this was the reality for only a minority of people. Today the majority of the workers, 70% of full-time workers in the United States, work directly from home
There are many different ways to work remotely. It can mean anything from an individual worker having the freedom to work from home occasionally — right through to globally scattered teams who collaborate across timezones, where no physical central office exists.
At BB Agency, our model exists somewhere in between. Our studio and HQ is in Krk, Croatia, this is where you’ll find our two founders and four other full-time team members. Our extended network of collaborators — designers, strategists, product designers, UX researchers, animators, illustrators, developers, and project managers — all work remotely from around the world. As of publishing, we are working with team members in France, the Philippines, Brasil, Lithuania, UK, Russia, Netherlands, and the Czech Republic but to name a few. This works for us because we take the time to build long-term relationships, only working with people we know we can trust. Many of our remote team are on retainers, whereas others work project to project — but all are as integral to our team as those based at our HQ in Krk.
We use Asana for project management, Slack for messaging, Dropbox Paper for live collaboration, Hubstaff for time tracking, and Zoom for meetings. It goes without saying communication is integral to running a successful remote creative team, so we’re constantly evaluating our systems and processes, looking for ways to learn and to improve.
Our teams are happier: When you work across multiple timezones, the 9–5 workday soon loses its relevance. We trust our teams implicitly to get work done on time and to the best of their ability. Beyond this, both our office team and the remote team have the freedom to work flexible hours and maintain a healthy work-life balance. A happier and less stressed team breeds creativity, leading to better results for our clients.
